So by misspelling the license plate frame do they avoid trademark infringement?

You misunderstand trademark infringement.

Probably not a native English speaker. In most other languages, she’s ‘Barby’

I’ve got a little shrimp for her Barbie.

I feel gross now.

Did Mary Kay run out of pink paint or something?

I’d go with “SRX2BU” because I hate those names so much.

I can see why she wanted a Cadillac interior

Only winners get the pink Cadillac, Ash. Does this car look like it’s driven by a winner?

No, it looks like she got a set of steak knives. ALWAYS BE CADILLACKING!

Forgot my disclaimer that I in no way felt the driver expected me to believe that she or the car were Mattel products.

The whiskey thing is weird. What’s weirder is the rule of thumb I’ve seen used : If the country has an ‘e’ in their name, they have an ‘e’ in their whisky.

US, Ireland; Germany : whiskey
Canada, Scotland, Japan : whisky

Seeing as how Bill Watterson has successfully gotten the shaft for what, 30 years(?) I don’t think that’s it.

I think the point may be to help people understand the license plate in the first place. I certainly didn’t understand till I read the frame.

Even discounting the odds of the TM owner seeing this, very few of them will care. And very few of those very few would be so petty as to go after them.

But by the letter of the law... probably not.

I have no doubt about that. The frame looked like it was homemade and wouldn’t make sense without that exact plate.

Yeah, you can order “custom” plate frames like that one.

I did check to see if her window was down hoping I could yell “come on Barbie let’s go party.” Unfortunately it wasn’t.

And that’s why it’s not copyright infringement! Among other reasons.
