I think the difference is the focus on the specific products and their brand. If someone named their candy stand "Silly Wonka" and only sold Nerds and Runts, I am sure they would have Nestle come after them too.

Nestle has the single word "wonka" itself trademarked, so you're going to need a better example.

Was Pirate Joe's selling counterfeits or knock offs? I thought they were reselling TJ's products.
