In Japan, someone registered a trademark for CUGGL as a clothing brand in Japan.
GUCCI tried to sue for copyright, but the Japan trademark office stated that CUGGL is not similar enough to GUCCI to warrant enforcement.

While I joke about the vendor names, this is an interesting way in which our brains work to fill in the blanks whenever information is missing.
