"Jarvis" is a trademark of Marvel, so that name will definitely not work. https://trademarks.justia.com/862/94/jarvis-86294162.html https://trademarks.justia.co

But there are many apps called Jarvis, so I am not sure how that is supposed to work?

  So many that it is actually quite counterproductive to call it that way. I honestly have lost track of how many AI-based assistants named JARVIS I have encountered already =/.

IANAIPL but I find it difficult to believe that trademark is valid, considering it's never been used in trade. There is no Jarvis digital assistant software sold either fictionally or IRL. Even if the trademark were somehow upheld, I don't see how there could be any damages.

Trademarks are industry specific. If you made a fictional AI character named Jarvis and tried selling media based on that character THEN Marvel has a case. Creating a talking AI Assistant named Jarvis would be an expensive court case, which Marvel/Disney has to cash to pursue, but it would be a legal stretch with a lot of moneyed interests willing to back the non-Marvel/Disney side.

  The way these things usually (but not always) work is they'll send you a cease and desist letter if they intend on bothering you. Change the name at that point and you're usually good.

What about Jenkins? oh yeah nope. Um what about Jeeves? oh yeah nope. Ok we need more butler names. What about Smithers? Or Jeffrey?
