I think you might get away with ‘Fossil Fuel’ - but Marvin will probably take it down first. You would then have to go through the rigmarole to get it back. I’m no expert here - just using ‘Fossil’ would for sure get taken down. @NDW 911 is also the USA’s emergency number and Marvin being American may not like it on a watchface - who knows

There is smartwatch G11
maybe that is why my TX-G11 got taken down. I complained, they gave it back to me. It is now called the TX-GXI.
But Facer did not give a reason for the take down of it.

arg! I should have checked this list before publishing a “Navigator” !
I’m sure they’ll restore it for me but it will be a huge pain if I have to redo all the promo/info materials
How do trademarks work when there are multiple companies/products using the same word, like Tissot and Lincoln both having an established Navigator. Is the trademark specific only to related products? I mean I can’t design and market a chair called Coca Cola can I? Or is Navigator only a problem here because it’s also a watch?

I think it is too aggressive setting of the protection for words that are common, not just model names. Navigator is a profession in a first place. Brands name their models like that, but I think it is actually two words name like brand+model. The washed jeans brand also has a navigator model of watch, but I have no idea how they agreed to “share” that name. I guess everybody should be allowed to employ their own navigator.

Trademark only protects you as much as a reasonable person might be confused by similarly named products. I think most people would assume a Coca Cola chair would be officially branded Coke merchandise. Ford MC apparently doesn’t have such reservations over a wristwatch called Navigator. If Tissot released an SUV then there’d be a problem. But what happens when Lincoln Navigator releases a watch…?

That’s what lawyers are for. 
First thing that happens is that the government trademark/copyright people contact the original owner of the name regardless of the product. They get the first chance to approve or deny. If they deny, the lawyers argue over it.

And… “navigator” (meaning pilot) was what got one of mine deleted maybe 2 years ago, and no reply to my request to restore it since.
