Sahil, I don't know anything about trademarks, service marks, etc but I do know that the product name "Surfer" has been in use for about 40 years in my industry, geoscience, by a company in Golden, Colorado. [0] Maybe you can make a new product in a different industry and recycle the name. I don't know how that works but right now, you're playing in an established product's namespace.

All that's needed is to extend the name with a modifier, which probably is a stronger branding IMO. https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ https://towey-websurfer.apponic.com/ https://towey-websurfer.apponic.com/ Also many open source libraries have also used the name: https://rubygems.org/gems/surfer https://rubygems.org/gems/surfer https://www.npmjs.com/package/surfer https://www.npmjs.com/package/surfer etc
