    The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Jack Daniel's v. VIP Products [dba Bad Spaniels, makers of dog toys with so-called ‘unsavory themes’ that imitate well-known alcohol brands].

    The case was originally brought by JD in 2018 where a district court sided with JD but VIP appealed and won their appeal in U.S. Appeals Court.

    At that point, various councils and institutes from the beer and wine industries joined the lawsuit on JD's side and now the Supreme Court will decide - once and for all - whether it is legal to make fun of the beer, wine and spirits industry with parodies of their products
