The Supreme Court agreed on Nov. 21 to hear a trademark infringement case brought by Jack Daniel’s against a dog toy maker with a chew toy product that resembles a bottle of the Tennessee distiller’s storied whiskey.
The novelties company sells a squeaking dog toy labeled “Bad Spaniels” in the shape of a Jack Daniel’s whiskey bottle, complete with a black-and-white label over what’s supposed to represent brownish liquor.
