Yes those are totally different. You can have a trademark of the same name for different things in different industries. This is allowable under USPTO guidance.

Yes those are totally different. You can have a trademark of the same name for different things in different industries. This is allowable under USPTO guidance. However, these are both software, so your scenario isn't really comparable.
Let's compare:
https://github.com/consul/consul https://github.com/consul/consul - 83 watchers, 758 stars, 486 forks
https://github.com/hashicorp/consul https://github.com/hashicorp/consul - 843 watchers, 14,686 stars, 2,548 forks
If any of those two is not going to last forever, it is this the one with a smaller community.
- nikolay 8y agoYeah, but this is the situation now. If stars had an expiry, things could look quite different today.
