Do you think you will run afoul of Microsoft for using their trademark in your product name? Is there a lawyer here who can chime in?

- BjoernKW 11y agoI suppose it's at least problematic according to Microsoft's own guidelines: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/trademarks/usage/general.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/t... Gleaning from that I'd say that it would be alright to name a product "Analytics Panel for Excel" but with "Excel Panel" they might run into problems. At the very least they probably should mention Microsoft trademark ownership somewhere on their site.
- przytu1 11y agoThank you for pointing this out. We will definitely take care of this issue. Maybe "Analytics Panel for Excel" would be safier, as @BjoernKW suggests.
- colinbartlett 11y agoYou're welcome! I'll be following your product closely, it looks very interesting.
