The US Supreme Court agreed to consider reviving a trademark lawsuit over a chewable dog toy designed to mimic the iconic Jack Daniel’s whiskey bottle.
The justices said Monday they will hear an appeal from Jack Daniel’s Properties Inc., a Brown-Forman Corp. unit that makes the country’s best-selling whiskey. The company says its trademarks are being infringed by a bottle-shaped toy that bears the label “Bad Spaniels” and includes jokes about dogs pooping on the carpet.
