I see hits on http://www.wipo.int/branddb/en/ with potential conflicts for: Anemone - 90+ hits many of which are in Japanese so unable to determine level of conflict Diztil - None, but some for Distil as listed in your email PiPir - As listed in your email Edgent (with an e not an a) - None Kinaara - None Fledge - a german media software company
I suggest trimming the list to the names without conflict (Edgent and Kinaara) to avoid ever decreasing circles.
