“To MGM fell the thankless task of policing the Garbo name and its commercial use. Several years earlier, J. Robert Rubin in MGM's New York office was panicked to learn of a trademarked product called Garbo - which turned out to be a new fangled garbage unit. The final cable from headquarters in Culver City concluded, 'It would be fairly hard to stop the word Garbo in connection with a refuse container. It does not seem anyone is going to confuse the two.”
