One way of looking at that is from the perspective of what helps you serve the customer well, and to continue serving as you scale. Does changing the name impede either? Does fighting them on a trademark help? If it does, do the resources you spend on it detract from product? It sucks and Iโm sorry to hear that!

๐ก(riffing): If you donโt need to make a final naming decision now, sending them the notice that @cassie referenced might be a good learning experience (legal jockey Wise) if you havenโt done one of those before. Sending notice isnโt a commitment to fight it, all the way, or anywhere. ๏ฟผ
