It would seem to me that trademarking "Carl Geyer Chicago" would not protect us from any far east maker* selling "Karl Geyer", or "Carl Gayer, Chicago" or ,C. Geyer Chicogo" or anyone of the other 1000 ways to mess up the name "just enough" to bypass any trademark restrictions. I think if the name is trademarked we will see items sold in the US with the trademark on it.
I think Carl, or anyone else, should be allowed to take their good name to their grave with them. *Don't forget they brought us "Cruspe" horns before.
