I almost agree.
There is also a need to refer to "things" which someone else has registered.
It shouldn't matter whether Sears has created an identifier or not. Any naming
authority should be able to generate any name within its space within the
terms of fair use. Otherwise, for example, there would be no way to catalogue
a library.

Is there's something special about FPI's which precludes this?
