Yes, it could cause trademark issues. Even though your businesses are different, the similarity in names could create confusion among consumers, potentially leading to trademark infringement claims from the gaming company. You should consult with an attorney to assess the risk and explore alternative names.

Hey everyone, I purchased a Samsung refrigerator on September 20th, but it arrived damaged. The dealer refused to replace it, but did file a complaint with Samsung (complaint number 4201573965). After weeks of contacting both Samsung customer care and the dealer, a Samsung employee arrived with three unknown individuals on September 28th. They tried to intimidate me and only replaced one of the damaged parts, taking the other with a promise of delivery yesterday. Now Samsung has closed the case without fixing the remaining damage. Any advice on what to do next?

I booked a wooden sofa on January 17th, 2015, paying an advance. The promised delivery was the first week of February 2015. I didn’t receive any updates from the vendor, so I had to call several times. Each time, they promised a new delivery date, which never materialized. Finally, after many calls and follow-ups, they delivered the sofa on March 15th, 2015, and I paid the balance in cash. The vendor collected VAT but hasn’t provided the invoice despite my requests. Where can I file a complaint about this delay and lack of invoice?
