You Don’t Know Quack?
You Don’t Know Jack was a popular game and trivia quiz show during the 1990s. You Don’t Know Quack is part of a new ad campaign for the Aflac Insurance company. Jellyvision, the makers of You Don’t Know Jack, are not very happy with this new ad campaign and are suing Aflac claiming trademark infringement. Kotaku has some details on the lawsuit:
The suit, filed on January 21 in United States District Court for the Norther District of Illinois, alleges that Aflac’s You Don’t Know Quack marketing campaign and corresponding webgame infringe on Jellyvision’s long-held trademark for You Don’t Know Jack.
Jellvision Inc.’s suit claims that the logo for Aflac’s web-game and the style of the game itself — a series of questions — are similar enough to You Don’t Know Jack’s to compel legal action.
The company is seeking monetary damages and a court order to stop Aflac from obtaining a trademark for You Don’t Know Quack.
