If others use place names only for descriptive purposes or to state facts, such as indicating the origin of raw materials in a product ingredient list or describing the names of dishes with place names on a menu, the main purpose is to explain the origin of the goods, not to use the place name as their own. If the use of a trademark will not cause confusion among consumers, it is a fair use of the place name contained in the trademark.
