    Generic is not what you think. You’re trying to make the case that all words in the dictionary are generic. I’m sorry you’re just wrong about this.

      First off there’s a reason I put it in quotes.

      And second, that wasn’t what I was arguing. Nice straw man.

      Third, you can’t trademark something after people who have similar names just because they have similar names.

      Demon hunter is a metal band.

      It’s very unlikely that they lost business because someone wandered into an anime called “Kpop Demon Hunter”… and even if they did, it wasn’t named to trade on the metal band’s name.
