[chirp_users] A digitized audio link called Chirp
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 ...

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.

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.
