I searched in the US trademark database and it appears that Mozilla's Fiddler is not registered as a trademark. Furthermore, I discovered that there is a distillery in Georgia that holds the same trademark as well as Telerik. Could be that because the word in not that unique, companies can use it more freely? I am not that knowledgeable about trademarks though.
- gs17 3y ago> Could be that because the word in not that unique, companies can use it more freely? It's almost the opposite. For example, Apple is a very non-unique word, and I would not recommend naming a tech company that even if your name was Apple Apple (see Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft). The trademark can give their brand exclusivity for that simple word in one type of product. The distillery wouldn't conflict, but Tererik may.
