From a business perspective in normie world this position is understandable and quite common.
In the context of open source driven bitcoin and bitcoiners who supported your products and helped you build the company this move seems a bit odd. Don't know the numbers but likely the blockclock isn't your cash cow.
Also coldcards are not simple in UX and seems more for technical users / enthusiast audience, which is the user base that likely don't agree with that agressive move. Also free market and competition yada, yada ethos.
If it's not the cash cow and backbone of the company then a softer approach like just asking to rename to avoid confusion would have been the better approach, imho. This could cost more coldcard revenue than the precedent it hoped to set for possible future "evil" blockclock copy cats.
That said, much respect for the company you built and what you do for the space - just disagree how that was handled in the context of our small ecosystem and your target audience.

quoting nevent1q…k8vqTrademarks are a fuck if you do, fuck if you don't type of law.
Was not an easy decision, but had to be made. I own it.
If you don't defend it, you lose it.
And If someone made an evil version of our products we would have less recourse.
Running your sales site of your knock off out of the same repository as your codebase is retarded. Trademark has nothing to do with the code.
Things are never as simple as the cancel ppl try to make it be.
The drama seems to always originate from the same sources...
