The Trademark Blog: Taco Bell Sues 50 Cent

    This seems like a case calling for another judicial order for both parties to "chill", as some judge did a while back in a Barbie-related case as I recall.

    Unfortunately, the silly Vanna White case of a few years ago is still binding precedent at least in one circuit (I don't know if it's the same one as this case) giving celebrities expansionist rights over anything even vaguely alluding to them for parodic purpose, if done in the course of a commercial ad.
