There's a reason industries invent new terms instead of using technical ones - 1080 is a measurable number of pixels, if you claim you screen is 1080p or 65", then it can't be a lie.
5G means basically whatever AT&T wants it to mean, just like how the definition of 4G magically and retroactively expanded back to include HSPA phones when verizon or whoever decided it should.

But it doesn't. 5G is an actual term (also known as IMT-2020 because of the release date) as defined by the International Telecommunications Union. 3GPP, who create the mobile standards like GSM/HSPA/LTE, also bases its standards on these IMT requirements.
Unless it's an actual trademark, it doesn't count. I'm not sure how dissimilar trademarks have to be to each other, but I know that if a term is too generic it can't be trademarked.
1080p and 4K aren’t trademarked either. Just because it’s not trademarked doesn’t mean it’s a scummy move to do what AT&T is doing, and is exactly the same as the ancestor comment saying that it would be ridiculous to see “4Ke” TVs.
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my comment. I didn't mean it wasn't scummy and dishonest, just that having a legal entity in charge of the term "5G" isn't necessarily enough to stop them.
