Ah, the one who "invented the entire *Kit Naming Scheme" "A Few Years ago".

Unless that actually predates the origins of technologies like UIKit, WebKit and the like, I'd think about revising that article so as to not make it look stupid and uninformed.

HealthKit is just the name of the library. Health is the name of the app. Good luck with you lawsuit.

A dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7850456. Since it's not clear which is the best url, we'll add this link to that thread.

"It looks like no one ever registered the buisness [sic] name or trading name in Australia"

Move along - nothing to see here.
