And have you checked with the Hilton re using 'Room'?
If I were you I'd cover all the bases.

This I am not directing at Mr Thorpy; the Muffroom Cloud looks to have an individual sound and look and is a lot more money than a Little Big Muff. I still understand why EHX might not be happy with the name though - as I'm sure Mr Thorpy would not be happy if there was an EHX Punshot overdrive.
Good. Just nipping down to the patent and trademark office.

Don't worry I get why the company are concerned and i am resigned to change the name, i thought the pun wouldn't upset anyone, as the term has become very common and used by loads of people and the trademark is very far removed from the pun.....
Exactly. I have absolutely zero problem with Rickenbacker protecting their guitar trademarks, although the corresponding effect is that the replacement parts market for Rickenbackers is a near-neurotic experience
Because yours is one of the few which comprehensively wipes the floor with both the original and the rest of the competition, probably - hence is a threat rather than a 'pusher'. Fender and Gibson made that mistake in the 70s, thinking that the Japanese copies would always be inferior and hence they would always act as a pusher for the real thing by making owners want to upgrade. Then Tokai and Ibanez upset that logic and they started getting threatened with lawsuits. The actual 'lawsuit' which coined this overused term was only over the open-book shape of the headstock on some of the earlier Ibanezes.
