I agree that some trademark/copyright stuff is ridiculous so this kind of stuff can be negated if challenged in court under certain circumstances but it can lead to drawn out feuds that only better serve the pockets of lawyers in such cases. An example is when Harley Davidson trademarked the sound of their V-Twin engines. MGM also has a trademark on the lions roar.

And "Fool" {or "Bool"} hubcaps are still out there, and now command a premium price based on the novelty.
