Looks cool. Is the name a play on Blackbox/Fluxbox/Openbox? It's in a different problem domain so it's probably not a problem, but "Winbox" is also the name of Mikrotik's RouterOS configuration utility for Windows: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Winbox

Hehe, when reading title I thought: Is that a web based utility for configuring Mikrotik? But they do have Webfig that is quite similar to winbox: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Webfig
IANAL but from a Trademark perspective, it might only matter that they are both software products. When we registered a trademark for our software in the EU, the application form only asked our industry (software development and consultancy).
