Walmart loses lawsuit to stop CafePress.com from selling Charles Smith’s parody bumper stickers and T-shirts defaming Walmart using the yellow smiley face the company used in all of it’s commercials along with tag lines of “walocaust” and “wal-qaeda”.

The judge also stated that Walmart had no trademark rights over the smiley face - an image that has been around long before Walmart’s commercialization of it.
