Recently I received an infringement notice regarding one of the words in my app name. I need to figure out how to change the name of an app, so that it won't confuse existing users.

Mainly, is there a way to change an app name so that it still searches under the old name (but, ideally, the old name does not appear)?

tldr I've received a trademark infringement notice for a for-fun app called Front Jacuzzi Back Corgi I made for my dog. It has a small loyal but unpaying following. Apparently one of those words is trademarked and can't be used, so I am considering renaming it to Front Jolly Back Corgi or Front Jetpool Back Corgi.

  • can you just replace Jacuzzi with Hot Tub? The J word being the copyrighted name of a manufacturer of hot tubs... Just curious...

  • right, but how do you do this so it doesn't cause confusion in case someone tries searching for "Front Jacuzzi"

Just change it to new name and then mention the old name in brackets as well.

NEW NAME (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS OLD NAME)
