CalcKey adopts a new name, new logo, new site, and new project infrastructure. While the name is somewhat odd, this feels like a really big step forward for the project.

They may end up rebranding again as there is already software put there using the name.

Yeah, that's kind of funny. Naming things is hard.

Have any trademark lawyers weighed in on this? I've only seen speculation.

It seems more complicated to me because it's actually the name of several fish and not just the name of a company. It's not like they're called Ford Motor Company Social, right? I'm also not sure that the other software out there is similar enough. They have to argue that customers would be confused but is social networking all that similar to a CRM?
