We haven't come across any neat reference spelling this out. The best resource to ID cross-talk is the specific legal person you might be interacting with. They all have their own way agreeing with designer lingo. Legal is into guarding against infringement of sight, sound and meaning of what is trying to be protected. How the name sounds needs to be protected. How the name looks ( if stylized in any way) needs protected, a mark needs protection as well as the combination of them all appearing in a single unit. Protecting meaning is interesting. The example often used is the case of Cyclone Fencing winning a case against Tornado Fencing citing confusion of meaning. Natos, thanks for your comment.

As you pointed out terms are often used imprecisely by designers. It seems worthwhile for free-lancers or other people who may not be as familiar with these legal technicalities to brush up on them.
