"National Public Data" sounds like the name of a nonprofit with a nationwide presence, like NPR or PBS, but it's just the trade name for "Jerico Pictures," a small Florida company with (judging from Crunchbase) 1-10 employees. Shouldn't there be regulations for names like this, similar to how the National Bank Act controls the use of "National" in names of financial institutions?

Names like this are so exhausting. See "Patriot Act" and "Americans for Prosperity Action".
