    Default The right to sell trademark parody items upheld

    Interesting story, Walmart got slapped down in court for trying to shut down a guy selling WalQueda and WAL-o-Caust stuff.

    Will Wal-Mart Ruling Start Parody Naming Trend?: Name Wire: The Product Naming Blog

    WalMart spent 200k just on one witness to say there would be trademark confusion. Judge didn't buy it.

    Let the parodies fly

    Years ago, the Oreo folks sued a XXX company because their packaging for a title looked too much like the bag design...they called it "restraint of trade", IIRC...
