This is quite common when someone want to be noticed, to get credit or visibility off the back of someone else marketing or hard work.
One company I worked for was notorious at using similar product banding and adjacent shelf placement to get sales off the back of the band being copied. Needless to say, I work for a far better company now.

Yes, that sucks. You would think people would at least take the time to look. I am working on a product, and I have looked all around for the name I am going to use, no issues, but I am also going to give it to a lawyer to make sure. No need to find out something after you put a label on your product.

Just a heads up but I just saw this on the Fldigi group. No doubt, naming a product is difficult and an available name can be hard but these guys obviously didn't even try. A Google search for "chip" yields four of the top ten listings.

Not to confuse anyone but in addition to the free rig control app "Chirp" here now comes a digital audio link by the same name. https://www.newark.com/chirp-io-interview-internet-of-sound?COM=referral-han...
This looks interesting and it triggered the wanna-be Ham-MacGuyver in me.
What if you could set any rig into vox mode and via mic & speaker hands-free QSO digi-mode from your Smartphone?
(Or CW via Smartphone of Chirp-connected keyboard, or text-to-voice from the same?)
What if you wanted to use the PA system in a park, stadium, function hall, EOC, field command post, Field Day, Hamfest, etc. to deliver digitized info to Smartphones (or other properly equipped devices with a microphone) - without the hassle of Bluetooth or Wifi linking?
Interesting possibilities ...
