Was it IP infringement for Netflix to use the phrase, Tiger King?

The HWM and Jackson claims against Netflix for intellectual property infringement from use of “Tiger King” and other marks and copyrights were not successful due to:

  • dismissal of trademark dilution and infringement claims;

  • application of the Rogers test; and

  • a finding the documentary use of the Tiger King mark is protected by the First Amendment.
