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.

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 ...
