Ask HN: Is the name R2 short enough to be free of trademark?
I do feel that there should be a strong case to be made that 2 characters should not be a long enough name to qualify as brandable.
I hope so; would love to hear from you all! If this is legal I am ABSOLUTELY going to release various bots called R2. One of the best things about the R2 name is it feels gender neutral, which is beneficial as a default: (see https://en.unesco.org/EQUALS/voice-assistants )
