Supreme Court to Hear High-Stakes Intellectual Property Dispute Involving Poop and Parody.

The US Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in an intellectual property dispute between Jack Daniel's and an Arizona company over a line of dog toys that mimic the whiskey brand's labels and bottles. Jack Daniel's is suing to stop VIP Products from selling the toys, which it claims damage its brand by confusing customers. The case will clarify the limits of the First Amendment in trademark infringement disputes, with a ruling expected by June. The case is the latest high-profile intellectual property rights case at the Supreme Court.
