I have found a name which a Fortune 500 company has a patent for BUT there is no trademark/copyright associated with the name.
The patent was granted/approved around 5 years ago.
The name can be used to describe a whole industry so is not very niche, but I suppose this could depend on your view on "niche" so I don't know if this has any impact on the decision making process.......
Can I register this name in good faith or would the company have a legal claim against me?
EDIT:
I am happy to share the name in PM with anyone who has a good reputation on here - I am not looking for a grey area to exploit, just could not find a simple answer online (one I could understand anyway!)
