    Oops. I left out "the big one." 

    10. [T]he work [is/has] a trademark (of someone else's without their
    permission)... 

    And just for good measure I'll throw in: 

    11. [T]he [item] [is/has] a trademark (of someone else's)... 

    --10. See all of the above (previous 1-9). Reading the sentence as
    though ANY appearance without authorization in one's work of someone
    else's trademark is "an infringement" is certainly wrong (emphasis on
    ANY). Playing by such a rule is certainly "safe" but, as shown by the
    examples above, it isn't 100% correct. 

    --11. No explicit authorization is required to sell a Rolex watch
    that you got from Rolex, or from a 3rd party supplier, or found on
    the street and put up for sale on E-Bay... 

    More than you wanted to know I'm sure.
