The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Jack Daniel’s Properties v. VIP Products, a case on trademark law centering on a dog toy that mimics the Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 whiskey bottle. VIP Products began selling the “Bad Spaniels” toy in 2014. A district court ruled in favor of Jack Daniel’s. On appeal, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled the toy was “an expressive work” with First Amendment protections. The Supreme Court would decide which conditions and criteria will be used to determine infringement or protected First Amendment speech in cases involving another company’s use of a trademark for its commercial product.

The Court later ruled in favor of Jack Daniel’s. close
