Their renaming of ElasticSearch to Elastic really irked me. If only for the simple reason that searching for questions related to them on Google is harder now.

They could have gone with "Elastico" or something easier to trademark. I think that's why they keep saying "Elastic Stack" instead of just "Elastic".

Probably. Trademarks are contextual. Two companies can both trademark the word "Apple". One in the context of computers, another in music distribution. So long as they don't get into each other's business, it's OK. Hmm... Yeah, Apple Records wasn't too happy with iTunes.
