Absolutely.
Sure, sometimes non-competing products have the same name. Or products sold exclusively in one country use the same name as a competitor in a different country. There's also companies that don't trademark or protect their names. Often no one even notices the common name.
That's not whats happening here. Xerox is famously litigious about their trademark; often used as a case study. The product competes with Xerox OCR products in the same countries.
It's a strange thing to be cavalier about and to openly document intent to use a sound-alike name. Besides, do you really want people searching for "Zerox OCR" to land on a Xerox page? There's no shortage of other names.
