All I can afford right now is to wish Noah luck, as this is going to be an uphill battle. From all of the trademark lawsuits that I've read over the past two decades, ranging from small breweries to clothing, I think only one was successful in arguing that their logo was different enough that the case was tossed, and that 'C' style they're using has been trademarked by Cleveland baseball since 1915. Even the companies that argued fair use under parody exceptions have failed in each of the cases I've read about...

...so, here's hoping that Noah and Charged become the 2nd case I'm following that will succeed...

Honestly, I can't remember, and been racking my brain since I first posted. It was about 8 or 9 years ago by now and will probably come to me when I least expect it. The one parody line that still sticks with me is "The South Butt" that got snuffed out by The North Face. From what I remember about that one is they gave him an out through a settlement, but the dude almost immediately violated that settlement agreement and got burned...
