# Random Word Generator — well-known-trademark collision list # # WHAT THIS IS. Names of well-known trademarks, listed here so a generated # coinage that lands on one — or contains one — can be discarded rather than # handed to somebody who is about to put it on a product. Every entry is a mark # owned by somebody else and is reproduced here for the sole purpose of # avoiding it. No affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship is claimed or # implied, and no entry here is available for use by this app or its users. # # WHY IT IS SHORT. It is confined to marks famous enough that a collision is # obvious to a general audience, because those are the ones a person can # recognise and a name generator can meaningfully avoid. A real trademark # search covers millions of registrations across dozens of classes and # jurisdictions and cannot be approximated by a word list. The app says so in # plain language next to the control: this check is a sanity net, not a # clearance search, and it is no substitute for a search of the register or # advice from someone qualified to read one. # # MATCHING RULE. Same as the offensive list: four letters or more matches # anywhere in the word, three or fewer matches only at the start or the end. # Matching is on the coinage's letters alone — it knows nothing about goods, # services or classes, which is most of what trademark law is actually about. # # The "avoid famous trademarks" control in the app turns this list on and off, # and it is on by default. adidas adobe airbnb amazon android apple armani asana audi bacardi barbie bayer bentley bmw boeing bosch bugatti burberry canon cartier chanel chevron cisco citroen coca colgate comcast corolla costco dasani deloitte dior disney dropbox dyson ebay epson ericsson esso etsy evian fedex fender ferrari figma firefox fujitsu garmin gillette github gmail google gucci haier heineken heinz hermes hilton honda huawei hulu hyundai ibiza ikea instagram intel iphone jaguar kelloggs kleenex kodak komatsu lamborghini lancome lego lenovo levis lexus linkedin loreal lufthansa lululemon mastercard mattel mazda mcdonald mercedes michelin microsoft mitsubishi nescafe nestle netflix nikon nintendo nissan nivea nokia notion nvidia oracle oreo panasonic pepsi peugeot pfizer philips pixar playstation porsche prada puma qantas qualcomm reebok renault revlon roblox rolex samsung sanyo sephora shopify siemens skype slack snapchat sony spotify sprite starbucks stripe subaru suzuki tesla tiktok toshiba toyota twitter uber uniqlo unilever verizon versace vodafone volvo walmart whatsapp xbox xerox yahoo yamaha youtube zalando zara zendesk zoom
