Yup; that's how it would work.

The challenge to using the Product Identity clause isn't creating something.
It's creating something original.  The more aspects of the entity identified
as PI, the better the chances are that you've actually done so.

If you designated "the name Conan" as PI, you're not doing much, since I can
use that name in my product without much concern by using a source from the
public domain (the "prior art") as a cite if you sue me.
