"The basis of trademark law is pretty simple: a trademarked name identifies the source of a particular product or service. Infringement on a trademark occurs when someone in a similar field uses the same name, or knowingly uses a similar name in an attempt to create confusion in the marketplace as to the source of the goods or services. For example, if you were to name your band Trident, the makers of Trident chewing gum couldn't claim trademark infringement, because you are not selling gum or candy or any similar food product. No one will confuse a band with a brand of chewing gum (at least we hope not). But if a company introduced a line of sugar-free gum called Tridentt, it would likely get sued for trademark infringement because consumers could easily confuse the two products."
