I don't think you can reserve a product name when the product is not
materialised yet. But I may be wrong.
Anyway, even "Rebel" has been used by both Ed Schroder and a company which
produces "Rebel Strip Poker" (I am sure Ed didn't produce the latter).
"Shredder" has also been used as a name in a software related to file security.
I have also seen "Fritz" being used as name for some hardware. Use any search
engine and type the popular brand names for chess...many things crop up..
