Hmmm, seems this case is different. Perhaps because MM choose it for his title. I’m sure I’d have a difficult time starting up a department store chain called “Wall to Wall Mart”, or a toy company called “Lay-Go” There is a definite connection between similarly titled bodies of work here,

But isn’t this the difference between Trade Mark and Copyright? The have different names because they ahve different rules.
