The Cartoon Animal Trademark War: Can a Company Own a Beaver?

In this episode, we break down the legal fight behind the headlines, in plain English:
- What the "Buc-Off" parody challenge was, and how the company responded
- Why trademark owners must defend their marks, and why critics say some go too far
- Where parody ends and trademark infringement begins
- How courts have treated defamation lawsuits against Last Week Tonight, including a federal judge's dismissal in June 2026
- What an anti-SLAPP law is, and why these laws matter for comedians, reporters and small businesses
We present both sides: the company's right to protect its brand, and the argument that aggressive lawsuits can pressure small businesses into giving up.
Which side do you think has the stronger argument? Tell us in the comments.
