Dustin and Marshall; I stand corrected. I must have tuned out at a point where I thought Blackbear had exhausted all their options. Talk about never giving up
Marshall's description of the reason for Blackbear's victory does not help "Dumb Starbucks," which is doing business or parody business under an infringing name.
Maybe "Dumb Starbucks" would have a better chance if they claim that Starbucks itself is doing a parody of actual coffee

The cat is out of the bag! Turns out it was Nathan Fielder from Comedy Central who hosts the show "Nathan For You"

I'd bet Starbucks backs off now. If they attempt to beat up on Comedy Central they'll just come off as bad sports who can't take a joke.
