Better Call Saul[]
Season 5[]
Jimmy McGill (with assistance from his production team) tampered with this commercial to make Mesa Verde look bad. He also claimed Don stole Olivia Bitsui's photo without credit and used it for the logo of his company, thus making Mesa Verde violate copyright infringement laws. Jimmy informs Kevin that he has sought an injunction for misappropriation of Olivia's intellectual property, which will prevent Mesa Verde from displaying its logo pending a decision on the case. This should take at least two years according to Jimmy. Exasperated and cornered, Kevin is forced to give in. ("Wexler v. Goodman")
