It's not quiet so cut and dry. The law is written to cover 90% but this isn't a criminal matter, it's a civil one, and civil suits are always decided in courtrooms. If I created a weed dispensary and called it Instant Pot and stylized my logo like that of a popular countertop pressure cooker they'd be well within their rights to sue despite being wildly different industries.
I'm not a trademark lawyer but I'm not sure parody would fly there.
