It involves stopping the use of names from a TV series to sell merchandise (jeans and restaurant services) when the claimant's business was only in TV, not in competition with the defendant.
It can be difficult because names may be descriptive or associated with a person rather than a product source. Protection may depend on the carrier (e.g., T-shirt vs. other goods).
Use it when studying or teaching intellectual property law, especially for exam prep on character merchandising, or when preparing legal arguments on image rights.
