Sure. But the same way it would be disingenuous to say that copyright exists so that we can have copyleft, it's a fallacy to say that trademark exist to protect the consumer, which is the point I'm arguing against:

> The core reason to enforce trademarks is not to fluff the corporation that holds it but to let the public be confident in the name.
