This Week on Naming in the AI Age, we’re talking about trademark infringement and the likelihood of confusion - what really matters to USPTO examiners, courts, and founders when choosing a name.

Key Takeaways:
-Strength of the senior mark: Famous or distinctive names are strongly protected.
-Similarity of names: It’s about sound, look, and overall impression, not just spelling.
-Proximity of goods/services: Targeting the same customers increases confusion risk.
-Potential “bridge” into your market: Even separate industries can collide if brands expand.
-Marketing channel overlap: Shared retailers, app stores, or social feeds amplify risk.
-Customer care level: Impulse buys = higher confusion risk; high-consideration purchases = lower risk.
-Intent: Courts may weigh whether a name was deliberately copied.
