One cheeky dog toy manufacturer might just be barking up the wrong tree. The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a case about the “Bad Spaniels” dog toy, a spoof on Jack Daniel’s bottles.
In the trademark case, Jack Daniel’s asserts that VIP Products’ toys impact the whiskey company’s brand image and reputation. It cites the toy’s bathroom humor, complete with phrases like “The Old No. 2 on Your Tennessee Carpet,” as being especially harmful to the Tennessee whiskey brand, according to CBS.
