I'll assume that That photo means that Piglet is the winner of the bounty?

What were your other potential runnerups? Some of us might want to know how close we were

I think he was between oink and piglet and Popsicle

[slush]

Bounty is still open, although we slowly inclines to the "Piglet". There's no hurry in closing the bounty, but as far as there won't be a better proposal, we'll choose this.

If we'll choose "Piglet", I'm also going to pay for "Oink", because I'm quite sure I'll use such lovely name for something related :-D.

If so, that probably wouldn't work - Disney has an EU trademark for "piglet" that they have filed for every category under the sun:

Here's mine, unsubmitted before because it seems more like a linux release name, but completely trademark-free, and you are able to build a brand without previous meaning associations (like how amazon.com has nothing to do with rivers, and few monsters are at monster.com):

"Brookesia"

btw: This is what a member of the genus brookesia looks like if you need the name to inspire iconography:



Specific species in this genus have names like "brookesia minima", "brookesia micra", "brookesia bonsi", if you want to borrow them for product names under a company name.

[slush]

Isn't "piglet" casual english word?

Btw I don't see "Bitcoin hardware wallets" in the list ;-).

[Akka]

^^^ Actually, I think if possible you should go with piglet, just to teach this *'%&## namestealing corporations a lesson. But you should consult a lawyer before doing so.

If you get the OK by one, than go with it. Legally Stealing a protected name from Disney could make some awesome press.

Isn't "piglet" casual english word?

Btw I don't wee "Bitcoin hardware wallets" in the list ;-).

You would think "Phoenix" would be a word you could use, but it didn't fly, and neither did "Firebird", and then even "Firefox" took licensing agreements because a EU trademark turned up later. The Diamond "Viper" video card name had to be licensed from a car alarm company. An EU or US name has a trademark infringement if it can be put in a category (numbered above) where there is a previous trade use.

"Popsicle" is a nice name, but also happens to be a trademark of a large company http://www.unileverusa.com/brands-in-action/detail/Popsicle-/296139/ - they will likely defend it's use to prevent it from becoming generic like many people think it is. In the UK, this is an "ice lolly".

"Oink" sounds like a search engine.

Are trademarks valid also for categories which are out of business for trademark holder? I mean - can Disney really protect "piglet" for some electronic gadget?

Btw Honda Firebird is also motorbike and Dodge Viper is a car. I'm not affraid that Disney will go over us with USB gadget (as far as we won't misuse Disney's piglet images).

Disney does business in electronic gadgets, and they have a trademark in that business category.

Btw Honda Firebird is also motorbike and Dodge Viper is a car. I'm not affraid that Disney will go over us with USB gadget (as far as we won't misuse Disney's piglet images).

Viper the car is in a different category than computer peripherals, but Viper the car alarm was found to be in the same electronics category as a video card. This is an example of how different products will be found to occupy the same trademark category.

Firebird the vehicle is a different product class than software, so using this name for something completely different would be fine if there was no trademark in the other area. Firebird also ended up being the same name as database software though, so the name was already taken in the same category. Thunderbird for an email reader doesn't infringe on Thunderbird the car.


Firefox FAQ:

Why did you choose Firebird in the first place?

With the assistance of attorneys we assessed other uses before selecting Firebird and did not consider these uses to be in the same domain as our web browser. It is very difficult to come up with a good name that is not also used by some other company or project, so choosing and verifying the availability of a name is a complicated process that involves many difficult judgment calls.

If you have a small project, likely a large monolithic corporation won't come after you. That is, unless they are part of a large copyright and trademark cartel that enforces the status quo of media consumption and international limitation of free commerce, with lots of lawyers, and they don't like what you are doing.

The characters and images are protected by copyright. The word and name is protected by trademark.

You'd probably be fine because they'd never notice. I could make a "Zune" FPGA miner and might not get cease-and-desisted or sued by Microsoft, but the possibility is there.

That's insane, I think that being able to copyright the word "piglet" is idiotic

Just claim to be from China and you should be fine.    They are copyright exempt
