I have a question that's related to something like this, I haven't been able to find a definitive answer through Google.

So let's say I want to create an app called "X this, not that!" But "Eat this, not that!" already exists and is an established brand.

Their product is in the health/diet space, while mine is in alternative medicine. Could this be considered copyright infringement?

My gut says it could be, but I think that if the product is very different then it should be fine.

If you are in the U.S, you can get sued for anything (See patent trolls). Doesn't mean they will successfully win, but can you afford to fight?

Thanks for your answer, and no, I certainly couldn't afford to fight :)
