I haven't stirred the pot for a while, try this:

THE PLAINTIFF: SPAM Luncheon Meat
THE DEFENDANT: Jim Henson Productions
THE LAWSUIT: Hormel Foods Corporation, makers of SPAM, sued Henson's company over one of the characters in the movie Muppet Treasure Island. The character in question is the high priest of a tribe of wild boars that worship Miss Piggy. His name: Spa'am.

Hormel's suit contended that their trademark was damaged because the film "intentionally portrayed the Spa'am character to be evil in porcine form."

THE VERDICT: Not guilty. The court found that although Spa'am was "untidy," he was not evil and that, actually, the character probably enhanced the value of the SPAM trademark.

Who would have believed?
