Well, u may have had the name first, but that would be irrelevant if u didn't trademark it (or its non-US equivalent) & Kali did. U may really want to check, as there does exist the possibility that the name is infringing on an existing trademark, which could spell *big* legal trouble. I'm no lawyer, nor do I pretend to be, but I do know that infringing on a trademarked name is a very big no-no. It also really creates a lot of confusion as regards the particular product being discussed. & that, folks, is all I'll say on the matter.
