I didn't say that. Please read my original response.
LEGALLY, yes -- they are independent. But to the common consumer, anything with the name "Bill Gates" immediately implies a connection to Microsoft -- legally or not. To us (the consumers of your multiboxing product), the name "Innerspace" automatically gets associated with "Bot", regardless if it was Joe Thaler's legal action.
It's a reputation. It doesn't have to be legal. Reputations are very volatile creatures -- they're immeasurable, easy to ruin and hard to repair. And, I will repeat, you've been responsible for upkeeping your reputation and your company's reputation -- so you've earned the difficulty in proving to your consumers that you (and your company) are trustworthy.
I have highlighted the important word in my response for better clarity.
