My mom would totally be confused by all of those examples. My mom, like many (most?) people doesn't like to read labels. She sees the general look. That's why trade dress protection exists as distinct from trade mark protection.

I bet your mom also couldn't tell the difference between a Sharp TV or a Samsung TV if they didn't have the labels. I think your point is moot.
