Court agrees to hear parody goods case | Thomas James, Minnesota attorney thomasbjames.com

In a previous blog post (“MSCHF Testing the Limits of Free Speech“), Minnesota attorney Thomas James (The Cokato Copyright Attorney) at the Law Office of Tom James in Cokato, MN wrote about the Wavy Baby Shoes case in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, in a different case raising similar issues, the United States Supreme Court will have an opportunity to resolve a circuit split on the parody goods question. On Monday, the Court granted certiorari in Jack Daniel’s Properties v. VIP Products to decide the scope of First Amendment protection for parody goods.
