Your example of Tesla vs Teslan makes sense. But if you do this comparison of similarity, be truthful with the initial argument here.

"Orpheus" is longer than "droid" and is certainly longer than "an".

What's next? Forbidding streichholzschachtelfabrikdroid? Due to similarity? C'mon, that's nonsense.

And no, you cannot have rights on the word "droid". Otherwise, lukasarts and the star trek film makers would have sued the shit out of google by now.
