Well, the first thing I'd try would be to argue that, given the difference in platform and target audience, there's no significant likelihood of confusion. Assuming unreasonability on the part of the B2B developer, I'd then find out whether they have a trademark on the name; if not, they likely have no recourse, while if so, it's worth both parties' time to consider whether an infringement case is worth the time and effort to mount (for the dev) or defend (for you).

- DaveSapien 13y agoYeah there is a lot to take into account, I really just dont want to step on folks toes. Though the feedback I'm getting so far is certainly in my favour. Thinking more and more using generic words to name your software is silly if you're worried about other people using similar words in differing order. For example the difference between calling something Cat in the Hat, and CatintheHat. Thanks for your feedback.
