You may get a letter from Apple’s lawyers because of the name - Swift and SwiftUI are trademarks, and this seems like something they’d want to keep for themselves.

What if I make a SwiftDelivery app? Would that also get me sued?

[fragmede]

Probably not. I am not a lawyer though. The Apple Corps vs Apple Computer lawsuit may make for some interesting introductory reading about various aspects of intellectual property law for you, if you are so inclined.

> Swift and SwiftUI are trademarks

This is called SwiftAI, though.

If they can prove enough similarities or overlap with their brand, they’ll find the way. And since it targets macOS/iOS specifically, there you go.

Als considering that Apple probably has Apple Intelligence trademarked

[rafram]

Right, and if it were called IBM AI, they’d get a letter from IBM instead. You can’t just tack something onto the end of a trademarked brand name.

[farseer]

IBM and Apple are company names, which means the intent to mislead can play a role during legal proceedings. Compared to banning the use of "Swift" in any phrase or sentence by any future company for the foreseeable future.
