I think the general likeness of the product and intended use plays a large part when it comes to lawsuits regarding trademarks etc..

Consider this product:

  • It's a gaming console
  • It's dual screen
  • It's clamshell
  • It has the abbreviation "DS" in their model name, hinting at dual screens.

Compare that to a fictional product, an European rustbucket of a car: the Centaur Avante DS 340.

  • Is not a gaming console
  • Doesn't have dual screen
  • Is not clamshell
  • Has the abbreviation "DS" in their model name, hinting at "Direct Steering" since it's the model without powersteering.

I think this product would be more at risk of being sued by Nintendo rather than the fictional car manufacturer...
