Did Spaceballs have to get permission for Pizza the Hutt

As I am sure you know, Spaceballs features the character Pizza the Hutt,
whose name seems to be obviously derived from the company Pizza Hut. Given
that "Pizza Hut" is trademarked, did the filmmakers need to get approval to
name the character?

    The Pizza the Hutt name is also "obviously" derived from the name of and
character Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars, which most of Spaceballs itself
appears to be derived from. – Phil Jan 25 at 8:24...


Answer
A brand like Pizza Hut can be trademarked but not copyrighted. Copyrights
allow the author (or owner of the copyright) to retain exclusive rights to
use the work or significant portions of it. Trademarks do not work that way.

Trademarks are meant to provide legal recourse when a business uses the same
or similar name, logo, design, catchphrase, etc., as another business in a
way that competes with or damages the reputation of the business that holds
the trademark. Words, phrases, logos, symbols, and designs can be
trademarked. Like copyrights, authors of such works are protected whether or
not their trademark is registered, but registration makes legal protection
much easier.

The producers of Spaceballs did not have to clear the character name of
Pizza the Hutt before they released the movie, but they probably did it just
in case. Two likely reasons why Pizza Hut would have allowed it are:

    It did not compete with or damage their brand. The movie is not pizza or
food of any kind, and while the name is funny and the character is an evil
one, there is no reference at all beyond the name itself to the real world
Pizza Hut. The lack of competition or damage means that Pizza Hut would have
a hard time winning any legal actions they might have considered taking if
the name had been used without their consent.

    Pizza the Hutt kind of looks delicious and is described as delicious by
his majordomo, so the character is likely to make viewers hungry, crave
pizza specifically, and have the name of Pizza Hut planted in their minds.
The character is an advertisement for Pizza Hut in a way. For all we know,
Pizza Hut might have even paid the producers as a kind of product placement
deal (I can't find any solid evidence one way or the other).

Note that in Spaceballs there is also a Mr. Coffee coffee machine of the
future that makes coffee described as "too hot" by a character, which is
closer to damage (IMHO) than the character of Pizza the Hutt.

Interestingly enough, since Spaceballs is a copyrighted work, if Pizza Hut
created a television advertisement showing footage of Pizza the Hutt from
Spaceballs, they would have to get permission to do so from the company that
owns the copyrights to the movie.

Also note that exactly what constitutes "damage" or infringement in general
in a legal sense is determined in the courts, not spelled out explicitly in
the law. Legal precedence set by previous court cases is usually, but not
always, followed by judges, but generally legal teams prefer to clear
everything before a movie is released, because going through that process is
a lot less expensive than even a successful defense in a court case.

One interesting and educational example of a real-world trademark dispute is
the case of Apple Corps vs. Apple Computer. The companies had the same name
(more or less), but in the original case, since one company made and sold
computers and the other company made and sold records, it was decided that
there was no trademark infringement. But Apple Computer was specifically
enjoined to not get into the music business. Of course it went back to trial
a few times over the subsequent years, such as when the iTunes Music Store
was created.
