hey, sahil here. i'm one of the contributors on surfer and have been working on this project for around three weeks now. we appreciate the feedback and are excited to keep pushing this project forward with your input!
I don't know anything about trademarks, service marks, etc but I do know that the product name "Surfer" has been in use for about 40 years in my industry, geoscience, by a company in Golden, Colorado. [0]
Maybe you can make a new product in a different industry and recycle the name. I don't know how that works but right now, you're playing in an established product's namespace.
