2. Carrie opens a small coffee shop in a small Colorado town and names it 'Grounds'. Charlie owns a large commercial landscaping business in Los Angeles also named 'Grounds'.
Charlie's company has been around for six years, while Carrie's business is brand new. Both
companies claim a trademark to this name, but neither has registered the name. When
Googling his company, Charlie discovers Carrie's small business and sues her for trademark
infringement. What is the likely result?
O A. Carrie will win this suit because there is no likelihood of confusion,
O B. Charlie will win his suit against Carrie because his company has been around
much longer, and is much bigger.

without asking him.
OD. Carrie will win this suit because Charlie never registered the name
O E.
Carrie will win this suit because Charlie can't prove that he owns a legal and
protected mark
