I bet they wanted to call it "Light Box" but discovered that name is

So was "Shadowlands," admittedly by a movie, but perhaps that was still

You can register the same trademark as someone else as long as it's not

It sometimes depends on the value of the original trademark. The
trademark "Jaws" from the movie was so valuable that the courts
disallowed Sears from trademarking the name Jaws for a trash compactor.
