Is it really a good idea to name your open source module after a trademarked name ? Xeon is the brand name for Intel's line of server and workstation processors and they dont strike me as the kind of firm that would take co-opting of a brand name lightly.

Seems like there are multiple registrations for Xeon https://trademarks.justia.com/search?q=Xeon+

IIRC you can register identical trademarks as long as they represent something sufficiently different especially if it's a commonly used word, no one is going to confuse between a CPU an Ecig and a Scooter.
