Flying Toasters lawsuits

In 1989, software company Berkeley Systems released its immensely popular After Dark screensaver. The best-known of the various screensaver options was Flying Toasters, whose winged appliances strongly resembled the toasters on the cover of Thirty Seconds Over Winterland. When another software company, Delrina, copied the trademarked Flying Toasters artwork into a competing screen saver, a Bloom County-themed version, Berkeley successfully sued Delrina for trademark infringement. Although much of the media and public bought into Delrina's well-prepared PR campaign spin that they were merely "parodying" the product...the judge did not see it that way.

Shortly after this, Jefferson Airplane sued Berkeley for copying their flying toasters trademark for their album. The band's case, however, was lost because Berkeley claimed no prior knowledge of the artwork and a judge noted the band had failed to trademark the cover art. nursery decoration
