Wouldn't the safest path be contacting the company to see if they are ok with it? They probably are, since it's a common word and they didn't go after the owner

Wouldn't the safest path be contacting the company to see if they are ok with it? They probably are, since it's a common word and they didn't go after the owner of TUVW.com. In the worst case scenario you will have to choose another name. Better now than later.
- JabavuAdams 16y agoThe problem is that in situations like this the default answer is "No". So, now you've forced them to say no, and you've tipped your hand. A useful general principle is that you don't want to force people into a situation where they have to say "no", if something is debatable or negotiable. Once battle-lines are drawn, it's harder for anyone to back down. I've spent years war-gaming, but I didn't really get this until I had a toddler.
