I have seen very few situations actually go to court. 99% of the time sending a "cease and desist" form letter to the offender is the end of the matter. As a funny aside: in the 80's I was in a band that for a short time was name "Gibraltar". For a while we had posters that showed the famous rock and said "Gibraltar: Get a piece..."
Believe it or not, we got a cease and desist from Prudential. We were so flattered we framed it.

LOL. I believe it. But you know, had it gone to court you most likely would have prevailed under fair use, parody.
