Trademark stuff can be weird...
Autozone started out as Autoshack, but Radioshack filed suit and won because of the use of the word 'shack', which makes no sense in that Autozone sells auto parts and Radioshack sells electionics.
I can't see how they were able to win that one..
The word 'shack' (common word) being part of a trademark doesn't prevent that word from being used for other marks.
Apple Computers/Apple Records.. Home Depot/Office Depot..
Happens all the time..
