IANAL, but I could imagine that in some countries it would be possible that somebody registers SageMath, waits a few months, and then claims a lot of money (20k$) from William Stein for 'misusing' the brand SageMath for a period of several months. Actually a friend of mine was in a similar situation. He had a wine shop, and was eventually fined for using a certain name in his web pages. According to him, the lawyer suing him was specialised on such cases and was searching the web with the intention to make money.
