You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, "liftoff" pertaining to software.
Seems like their trademark is actually on SAAS offerings. I think we'll be fine
The trademark category is for "software". There's no distinction between SaaS and an app. They're the same thing from a trademark standing.
Could you be more specific a little more specific and helpful?
It's not a registered trademark... It's a Florida Corporation which gets an automatic trademark of sorts based on case law. It's complicated but if someone owns Foo Software and then makes a sale across state lines using that "mark" (in this case, "Foo" in the context of software) they get an automatic trademark on that name related to that good (software).
Planet Money did a whole podcast about it related to their Micro Face comic (someone sold beverages across state lines under the name, "Micro Face"). It's an excellent podcast. I highly recommend it (super interesting and funny).
But you know what? Fuck it: You can use the name, "Liftoff". Liftoff Software has been dead for several years now. Even though they sold stuff under that name across state lines many times (even internationally) that corporation is not coming back. So don't worry about it 👍
