SCOTUS declined to hear this appeal:
Al Johnson’s Swedish restaurant has been a popular attraction for anyone traveling to Door County for its grass-covered roof and its herd of grass trimmers.
But a lawsuit by a New York attorney against Al Johnson’s sought to cancel the “Goats on a roof of grass” trademark owned by the well-known restaurant in Sister Bay.
That years-long petition has been denied by the U.S. Supreme Court. The court’s decision not to hear the case has ended the debate.
The lawsuit has been trying to strip the restaurant of its trademark since 2011. Attorney Todd Bank claimed it was demeaning to goats. [WMTV]
Demeaning to goats? Or was there something more going on here? I’m not sure I want to know. There are some limits to human knowledge I’d rather not breach.
