I found an old ROM BIOS chip in my drawer with label Centos(r) Copyright

Has anyone checked if you can use the name centos without any fear of
litigation?
IANAL
My understanding is :-
There are no existing trademark registrations (that we have found) for
CENTOS, in US, EU, WIPO or TW
We are in a different field of business and therefore could not be accused
of passing off.
If we were to start manufacturing add on cards etc, and if they had
registered a trademark, then we might have troubles ...
