Observation: several posters in this very thread have expressed confusion.

Also, it's always bad form to give out legal advice on the internet.

Consumer confusion within a specific industry. Like a food company using their name.

If this were a food delivery startup, there would be an issue. Since it's an stock trading app, very few trademark attorneys would see an issue with it.

And of course, consult your attorney, as mentioned in the original comment.
