There's nothing for olive garden corporate not to get. They made it clear that all you got was a token that limited in supply to one per olive garden and had a picture of said olive garden with a dynamically generated background. That the token did not imply ownership of the chain or any of the IP. I Could sell tokens based off streets in a town or literally anything it's just a token.

That is not what the opening tagline of "Own an Olive Garden on the blockchain!" conveys. I'm not a lawyer (and I'm guessing you aren't one either, but willing to be pleasantly surprised), but I find it hard to believe that they can argue that "Own an Olive Garden" for x.xx ETH without any mention of the word "picture" or "image" reasonably conveys an intention to sell a picture or image.

  As long as we're all not lawyers here - I would mention that the site is quite obviously satirical in a number of ways and publishing a document that is generally satirical makes the argument easier for any individual components. That all said most of the parody is directed at NFTs and the Olive Garden seems to be picked as an example mostly arbitrarily. The OG might be able to argue that the site isn't deserving of any parody fair use exemptions for the OG specifically.

Here's their Q&A section https://nonfungibleolivegardens.com/ https://nonfungibleolivegardens.com/ Does this confer ownership of or investment in a real Olive Garden franchise? While every Non-fungible Olive Garden is tethered to a real Olive Garden, ownership is currently limited to the Non-fungible Olive Garden Metaverse, granting owners no rights or privileges in meatspace Olive Gardens. This may change in the future (see roadmap). Is this affiliated with Olive Garden? No. We are simply a community of Olive Garden fans invested in both trustless future economies and delicious, reasonably-priced Italian fare. So am I buying a picture of an Olive Garden? No. Token artwork is for representation only and confers no ownership over the photograph. You're not purchasing art, you're purchasing ownership of a Non-Fungible Olive Garden franchise. One of the photos is wrong or out of date. We've done our best to verify the accuracy of the images used, but there may be discrepancies. Can I buy a specific Olive Garden? The initial mint of franchises is random and you're unable to select a location. You can browse franchises that have already been minted on OpenSea and make offers there. The breadsticks are really free? Yes. Breadsticks will remain free and unlimited in perpetuity. You will have to pay gas fees to mint them, but these fees go to miners, not to us.
