If the Baby Ruth candy bar wasn't actually named after the ball player then why did the inventor of the candy bar sue Ruth when he made his own candy bar?

[Edit]

Answer

The original owner of the Baby Ruth bar trademarked the name. To allow someone else to use a trademarked name will invalidate your trademark, allowing anyone to use it.
