I really hope we don't live in a world where latin prefixes can be trademarked. Are Micron and MicroSoft confounding names? What about Instagram and Instacart?

  It's more like Microsoft and Microbusoft or Instagram and Instagrabum

    Well - not really, the common part between sonos and sonobus is the latin root [0] sono. Are we saying that now none can use sono as prefix for things relating to sound? [0](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sono- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sono-)

    it's literally the exact same scenario: latin prefix + single letter: micro-n sono-s latin prefix + short word: micro-soft sono-bus
