There appeared to be some agreement that an appeals court decision in favor of VIP was incorrectly decided, but whether the justices issue a broad ruling that would have a wider impact on trademark law remains unclear.

It also says"Old No. 2 on your Tennessee Carpet" on the body in reference to the"Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey" main label featured on the whiskey bottles.
Justice Samuel Alito was among those who raised questions about the ramifications of a broad ruling in favor of Jack Daniel's.
