That's strange as Dove is a copyrighted name and they sell soap.

Dove bar = bar of soap at least if you ask for a Dove bar here in
Central Michigan that's what you get.

That kind of brand name is protected by trademark, not by copyright.
And trademark is divided up into market segments, and a trademark
registration is valid in only one market segment. I presume soap and
candy (or ice-cream treats) are in different market segments, because
I'm familiar with both the soap *and* the candy and ice-cream treats.
