Viacom has gotten a judge to reject the initial version of a lawsuit over a "SpongeBob SquarePants Ukulele."
The claims came from Gibson Guitar Corp., which asserted that the owner of the Nickelodeon TV network was promoting various products that infringed its trademark rights to the words and design of the "Flying V," its more than five-decade-old electric guitar known for its distinctive look.
The judge decided that Gibson wasn't specific enough in making allegations against Viacom versus its U.K.-based licensee John Hornby Skewes & Co.
The judge is allowing Gibson to amend its complaint so this lawsuit might not be completely finished.
