What would you suggest? If I change the name of my piece to Bowman, won't
someone else complain? Will Robert Abbott object because I use an
Immobilizer? Thank God FIDE Chess isn't patented so I can use a King and
Queen. Different pieces in different games have the same name all the time
and no one else asserts violation of patent or copyright. Perhaps this is
because other CV inventors are reasonable people, perhaps some are not but
realize they have no case.

The change you ask for is grossly unreasonable and I will make it if and
only if so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
