> One of those weird copyright decisions, like the one where Owens-Corning trademarked PINK

Trademarks and copyright are NOT the same thing. That trademark would only give them rights to the branding PINK in the context of insulation. Copyright is more expansive - and I think you should be more worried about copyright than trademark.

Right, PINK is a trademark of Owens-Corning, associated with licensed copyright rights from the use of The Pink Panther cartoon character in some long-forgotten ads.[1][2]
