> Inkwell is listed on Apple’s own trademark page.

I had an app rejected, because it had the word "Finder" in its title ("Virtual Meeting Finder"). I had to change the name of the app, and it wasn't too big a deal, because the original name was fairly unimaginative (as it was supposed to be).

But it does sound like the whole app name is in conflict with a registered Apple trademark. It's unlikely to ever be approved.

With a previously registered trademark -- the article says it has been "listed as 'dead”' by the US Patent & Trademark Office" and unused for decades.
