N0, The trade mark name thing was a waste of effort because nasal sprays and throat lozenges are in totally different trademark categories. For example, if a car manufacturer wanted to call their car a "Cadillac", there is nothing to stop a motorcycle manufacturer (a totally different trademark category) from calling their motorcycle a "Cadillac". That case was lost before it was filed - really bad legal advise. Just be glad they didn't call their nasal spray Cold-Eeze nasal spray. The case law on this kind of stuff is extremely long and extensive and Quigley didn't have a chance. One must remember that a trademark is an adjective, not an object. IE, Cold-Eeze LOZENGES, not Cold-Eeze. Cadillac CARS, not Cadillac.
