Revisiting Ty v. GMA

 Ty, Inc. v. GMA Accessories, Inc., 132 F.3d 1167 (7th Cir. 1997), features dueling bean bag animals. I've never been convinced the two pigs at issue were substantially similar, even in staged pictures, but Harvard's amazing librarians finally dug up a color picture of the two cows at issue, and they're a lot more similar .... which plausibly influenced the court's reasoning on the pigs.

Ty's Daisy the cow and GMA's Louie the Cow
