"SQLite Studio" seems like a poor choice of name given that it's already in use[0].

[0] https://sqlitestudio.pl/.

Technically both these projects are infringing trademarks. SQLite is a trademarked term by the SQLite authors. OP is not more wrong than https://sqlitestudio.pl/. If https://sqlitestudio.pl/ is using the mark under license, they haven't indicated that anywhere (usually a requirement).

See this Github post where SQLite author asserts his trademark https://github.com/vapor/sqlite-kit/issues/47 on another project that uses SQLite in the name.

Both projects should change their names.

While SQLite is open source, the trademark is retained by the authors https://sqlite.org/consortium_agreement-20071201.html

The SQLite author says in the last paragraph of the sqlite-kit issue:

"You are welcomed to use "SQLite" as part of the name for your software, so that people know that it uses SQLite. For example, you might call your software "SQLite Wrapper for Swift" or "Vapor's Swift SQLite Wrapper". But you may not use the unqualified name "SQLite"."

The SQLite author wanted them to change their name because it was literally called "SQLite," not because it had SQLite in the name.

From the linked GitHub issue:

> Please do NOT use the name "SQLite" for your project.

Is the trademark registered internationally?

If this were not the case and a trademark is USA specific, how is is to be assessed if, as in the case of SQLite Database Explorer, someone from Ethiopia or, as in the case of SQLiteStudio, someone from Poland violates it? Or the other way round, if someone from the USA violates an Ethiopian or Polish trademark?

This is the kind of laser focus I need with my side projects!! not even looking around. Just grinding out an idea!! amazing work!

Yes, hopefully they'll rename to "SQLite Explorer" or similar, I like both!
