The . theory of universality holds that a trademark is . only an indication of the source or origin of the . product. This theory does not recognize the goodwill . functions of a trademark.

I am not an instructor but I will try to help. Please refer to the above line reference. Notice that the line states that under the theory of university, trade is “only an indication of the source or origin of the product.” By characterizing trademark as “only an indication of the source” of the product, the author implies that trademark should be a lot more than “only an indication of the source.”

The next sentence states that under the theory of universality, goodwill is not a recognized function of the trademark. This implies that to be fair, goodwill ought to be recognized as a function of the trademark to fully protect its manufacturers. However, under the theory of universality, goodwill, unfortunately, is not recognized as a function of the trademark.

The result of lack of recognition of goodwill function of the trademark is that it is one way in which manufacturers of a certain trademark will sustain damages. Again, to be fair, goodwill ought to be recognized because manufacturers of trademarks ought to be protected, as B) indicated.

I hope that I explained it correctly. Please feel free to correct me. Thank you.
