I'd be quite worried about your name being too similar to Symantec (now part of broadcom, but the brand is apparently being preserved to some degree): https://sep.securitycloud.symantec.com/v2/landing

Firmware validation isn't particularly close to symantec's products from my perspective, but I'm sure a lawyer would be happy to disagree for the right retainer.

(congrats on your launch in any case)

Thank you! We will have to look into that, but theres actually an even closer to our name that we get auto-corrected to. if you really want to see how crowded naming is... just google "simantic". Our SEO goals truly need to peak to get through

Having the same issue. I have stopped Googling it, since i just start to wonder if its better to just rebrand.

we have thought about it, but its a name we came up ourselves, fits the bill and we have the domain for it. Can't ask for much more. its pretty rare for google to be our inbound and when we get to that point we would probably overtake that in SEO anyway
