If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there’s no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you’re free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author’s work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it “Fifty shades of grey”.

I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your “Burger King” burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.

Its Trademark Law in Australia.

For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas protecting its purple (defined as CKMY {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries so purple would be fair game if opened a business in another field, but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers and would effectively block out an area in the color spectrum.

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy,barely an inconvenience.

But boycotting services that happen to uses Amazon? Impossible!

Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.
