Good luck enforcing the trademark :)

Surely there's a trademark protection concern here.

Because it's potentially trademark infringement because it could confuse people.

isn't that what trademark law is for?

That would probably get them in trademark troubles.

You mean trademark infringement.

Might trademark law have something to say about this practice?
