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></p>
