The October argument session

The Supreme Court released its October argument session calendar, which runs from October 5 to October 14. A U.S. appeals court reversed a prior decision favoring Jack Daniel’s in a trademark dispute with VIP Products over a dog toy parodying whiskey bottles. The Supreme Court previously vacated the 9th Circuit’s 2020 ruling but the appeals court reinstated a sales ban reversal in 2024. Meanwhile, ICE is outfitting Haitian immigrants with ankle monitors following a Supreme Court decision ending their deportation protections.
