Larry was right. His nephews had no right to compete in the same business using the same name.

Sure, trademarks are not "en masse" rights. They usually pertain to the field of use. So, the nephews can use their name to sell hotdogs or manufacture furniture. But, that tradename is already taken in the entertainment arena.
