@LuFins-Dad I guess we will agree to disagree. :couple_with_heart:
I am not saying that the whiskey company is doing the smartest thing, or it is the best publicity for them.
You have a well know piano store. Lets say someone opens a store called "LaFins" instead of "LuFins", but they sell fish.
They use a logo and font that is very similar to yours. Their sign in front is similar also along with the company saying.
Of course, they are selling a different product but using peoples familiarity with your store to sell their product.
I would not like that the second store was doing that and would ask them to stop.
Well , you were asking about legally speaking… Legally speaking, the verbiage, spelling, and logos on a trademark is pretty precise. And then profiting off the similarity wouldn’t have any legal consequences. It would only be if that company would be damaging my company or reputation in some way. If they are, then there is a case.
Not liking them using a similar logo or such is one thing… And asking them to stop is perfectly reasonable and understandable. Taking it to court is a completely different thing, especially when it’s a parody. The argument can easily and justifiably be made that the dog toy is promoting the Jack Daniels brand.

Good points. I guess it may be "morally" no good, but "legally" okay.

Jack Daniels wins court case, which I agree with. 9-0 verdict. Maybe I should be on the Supreme court!!! LOL

This is like the HOA upholding the request for the guy to take down his kids' treehouse. The treehouse comes down, but the person who complained still comes out of it looking like a miserable SOB.
