I'm quite surprised Sega's lawyers didn't already come knocking over the name for this in the previous 4 years.



I'm not - it's not even a remotely related industry. That's not how this works.


It's a name for two (admittedly entirely unrelated use case) pieces of software. Just because something may or may not stand up in court doesn't automatically preclude lawyers from sending Cease & Desist letters or what ever. Just look at the nonsense from Take Two claiming that Remedy's new logo is too close to the Rock Star logo [1]. Any reasonable person wouldn't confuse the two, but still the lawyers are involved.
