Well, I was trying to follow your logic.
You changed it in your follow up.

Based on that, you _did_ sell products that were marketed with Company
B's trademark?  Correct?

Again, please re-iterate in the A, B, C?, D? nomenclature.

A is the software developer/reseller
B are the clients
C is the trademark holder (even if ex-post-facto)
D is someone who licensed something to A (?)

Did A use C's trademark publicly?
Did A use C's trademark in any context?
Is there a D?
Is D the company that originated the name (now trademarked)?
