But VIP’s profit-motivated 'joke' confuses consumers by taking advantage of Jack Daniel’s hard-earned goodwill," Lisa Blatt, the lead attorney for Jack Daniel’s, wrote in a court filing. This 'attorney' should have her license revoked and disbarred for life for making such an idiotic statement in a court of law..............................

I wonder if the Fair Use laws could be stretched to cover this. It’s a trademark and not a copyright, but the concept is the same (i.e., transformative use).

Sounds like a case of Tennessee Whiskey-induced “Cancel Culture” to me.

Drinking alcohol makes about as much sense, biologically speaking, as eating dog poop.

If you do not protect your copyright, you risk losing it Jack Daniel’s is correct in Enforcing this. A fair settlement would have been to charge the dog toy company a nominal amount for the use.

The day I graduated Marine Corps Boot Camp, July 1st 1973, Florida law allowing 18 year olds to drink alcohol went into effect.

Basically, Jack Daniels is telling everybody that they think their customers are so stupid that they cannot tell the difference between their whisky and dog piss................

This might be very important for small business.
Jack Daniels uses its iconic status to market novelty and memorabilia products on the side. They covet the toy makers’ idea. At the same time they believe the original product will undercut their projected sales. Less probably but possibly, copying that toy outright may expose them to legal action over trademarks.
An easy solution for them is hit the little guy with a lawsuit over an some intricate trademark claim, predicting that legal costs will overwhelm the smaller business and force them to close, abandon the product, or sell out.

Darn it, corporate is wasting money and the price of JD is going, going, going up up up. I saw a regular bottle 750ml at the military base for $25. Jim Beam Black or Sour Mash is usually 5 -7 bucks a bottle cheaper. I used to put JB into the JD bottle and screw with the people who swore they could tasted the difference. Sour Mash straight up is sour mash; if you put it in coke or pepsi, no difference at all. Just buy Jim Beam Black.

Any truth to the rumor the attorney is from the Law Firm:
Dewey, Do'em, Screw'em, Cheatham, Righteously, & Howe. 1st chair Seymour Butts.
Billing Department Attention: Ben Dover.
Complaint Dept: Crying Harder.
2nd chair: Irving Pinkus Abroughawits, & Jonathan Pinchy Worthlessthanpiss, hasn't won a case in twenty five years', but they'll win this one.

The board at Jack Daniels missed an opportunity to license the logo. The dog chew toy makers now have enough notoriety to reach out to other brands such as Maker's Mark.
Just ask the folks at M&M Mars who turned down the producers of the movie "ET" who then reached out to Reese's and used Reese's Pieces instead. Reese's made millions on the movie endorsement.
