Practice question
An analyst finds resemblance under dominancy and concludes that every conceivable use on any unrelated goods necessarily causes confusion. No well-known-mark extension or relevant connection is established. Which correction is sound?
- Dominancy gives worldwide ownership of every word.
- Mark resemblance is important, but the wider inquiry includes relevant goods or service relationships and other applicable factors.
- Relatedness can never matter.
- Every similar mark necessarily identifies one legal entity.
- The analyst may restore the abandoned holistic test to avoid all evidence.
