Is this a story that is truly interesting? Farmer A uses existing band trademark (Rage Against the Machine) to further his goals attacking plant-based burgers.

Is this a story that is truly interesting? Farmer A uses existing band trademark (Rage Against the Machine) to further his goals attacking plant-based burgers. Another farmer (farmer B) trademarks the same thing, then forces Farmer A to stop using that slogan. This.. just seems like a squabble between two random people. He didn't even get sued by the band. FWIW, home-made impossible meat burritos are delicious.

I think parody does not fall under derivative work.
