Jack Daniels Trademark Lawsuit Against Dog Toy Company Heads to Supreme Court
Jack Daniels was at the U.S. Supreme Court today. The whiskey-makers argued that a dog toy company violated federal trademark law with a product that parodies the distiller's iconic bottle.

Jack Daniel says the toy damages its reputation, especially the references to dog poop.
