There is already a product for that use by that name (GNU Screen, installed on millions of machines already).

You cannot get a trademark on it, or at least shouldn’t be able to if the USPTO observed its rules.

You really need to change the name.




There was a company we used that had to do a massive re-branding after they realized they couldn't trademark their company name. Doubt it helped their brand visibility to do such a switch.


I get your point, and I agree with the poor naming, but one can hardly call “screen” a product.


or Windows, right? :P
