      And this trademark is a phrase, which is not easily confused with another phrase, when taken in context.

      Are you being willfully fucking obtuse? We’re not talking about other trademarks we’re talking about this situation.

      If you want to go discuss the entirety of trademark law, go for it, somewhere else, please. This is a conversation about a specific incident, which specifically doesn’t include logos and symbols. It uses a phrase that clearly isn’t confusing in respect to LOTR.

      The wing truck wasn’t going to have an effigy of the Hobbits on Mt Doom on it. Literally only the name even came close to referencing it. It’s a joke of a trademark dispute and you know it.

        As I’ve been trying to explain, confusion is not the only basis for a trademark claim.

        Are you being willfully fucking obtuse?

        No. And I have no interest in discussing this with you further if you can’t do so respectfully.
