what's up names reusing common words? isn't that impossible to trademark?


trademarks are filed for specific classes of use, like "software" or "cooking appliances" and yes, they are harder to enforce than a created name such as Exxon or Accenture, but those take millions in marketing to create associations in peoples mind. Cinder already evokes a low, gentle heat, so you kind of get that we're a precision cooking appliance.
