     That (trademarks are protected without registration) is also the case in the US, too.

     @drewdevault 100% but I had to assume you mean "allowed in the USA" since trademark law is different where I live and a name of a product/software could be infringed upon without prior registration (but the process of proving that is usually more costly than just outright registering a ™).
