One wonders a) how the permission was granted (oral, written, etc) and b) what the written or implied terms are.

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Got a refusal with an interesting twist. Here\u2019s the scenario: celebrity (let\u2019s say Taylor Swift) gives permission to an entity to use her name for, say wine, that entity registers WINE
BY TAYLOR SWIFT. Then she gives permission to a different entity to use her name in connection with beer. USPTO issues a refusal for BEER BY TAYLOR SWIFT based on prior wine registration. Ownership issues aside, can you argue \u201cunity of control\u201d if Taylor
is, in fact exercising quality control over both products even though they are manufactured by different entities? The TMEP sections on unity of control don\u2019t seem to address this issue.<o:p></o:p></div>
