Jack Daniel's Properties Inc is owned by Louisville, Kentucky-based Brown-Forman Corp (BFb.N).
The dispute pitted the whiskey brand's trademark rights against legal protections for creative expression - in this case a send-up by Phoenix-based VIP Products of Jack Daniel's Old No.
Jack Daniel's spokesperson Svend Jansen said the company was pleased with the decision.
"Jack Daniel's is a brand recognized for quality and craftsmanship, and when friends around the world see the label, they know it stands for something they can count on.
Circuit Court of Appeals in 2020 ruled in favor of VIP Products on two grounds.
