Facts: Rinks and Shields created a "Psycho Chihuahua" cartoon character that they promoted through their company, Wrench LLC. They were approached by Taco Bell to adapt the character for use in their advertising. Later, the idea was adjusted to include a real dog that was digitally manipulated. Rinks and Shields created several ads, including one in which a male dog passes up a female dog to get to the Taco Bell food. Taco Bell did not enter into an express contract with them, but, a few weeks later, hired Chiat/Day to produce the same style ads, one of which was the male dog passing on up a female dog to get the Taco Bell food. Wrench, Rinks, and Shields sued Taco Bell for breach of contract.

Issue:Is there a contract?If so, why?If not why not?
