This is correct. Pic related is a good example. A company tried to release a collection of public domain Mickey Mouse newspaper comics. Disney threatened legal action because people would mistake it as an official Disney product because it's being advertised as having Mickey. So the company released it with a completely black cover, no mention of Mickey or Disney anywhere on the book, and nothing that could be seen as trademark infringement.
Disney sued them anyway.
