“Better Call Saul’s” producers, AMC Networks and Sony Pictures, are being sued by Liberty Tax Service for trade dress and trademark infringement in what the company alleges is an “intentional misuse” and “rip off” of its image.

The suit also alleges “dilution, defamation, disparagement, and injurious falsehoods” for its depiction of the business as fraudulent.

In Season 6, Episode 2, the title character goes to an illegitimate business called “Sweet Liberty Tax Services,” which is being run by the embezzling family of the Kettlemans.

Screen shots from the episode were included in the lawsuit, one of which is featured at the top of this post.
