Curious in terms of trademark, does it could infringe in Vercel's Prisma (very popular ORM / framework in node.js) ?

EDIT: as corrected by comment, Prisma is not Vercel, but ©2026 Prisma Data, Inc. -- curiosity still persists(?)

I think it may be a generic word that's hard to trademark or something, as the existing scientific analysis software called Prism (https://www.graphpad.com/) doesn't seem to be trademarked; the Trademarks link at the bottom goes to this list, which doesn't include Prism: https://www.dotmatics.com/trademarks
https://github.com/prisma/prisma is its own thing, yeah? not affiliated with Vercel AFAICT.
