The company that makes Marshmallow Fluff brand marshmallow creme is suing Williams-Sonoma over its use of the word "fluffernutter". A fluffernutter is a combination of marshmallow creme and peanut butter and the "fluff " part of the trademarked name comes from the Marshmallow Fluff brand name. Williams-Sonoma sells a marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate-covered candy under the same name. The products were available over the 2005 Holiday season and do not seem to be in stores at the moment.

It's not frivolous...it's blatant trademark infringement.
