«The term micron and the symbol μ were officially accepted for use in isolation to denote the micrometre in 1879, but officially revoked by the International System of Units (SI) in 1967.»
It's the abbreviation of Micro Oberon, therefore a quite obvious naming choice; there is no real risk of confusion with commercial offers under this name; it's also a common name in science.
They also have a Micron trademark for software, as they sell some software packages. So it's really just a question of whether or not they notice and decide to go after you.
No. This is a common misconception. I know, you asked an LLM and it said you were very right and it cited a bunch of legal cases which prove you correct. You didn't check any of those citations, because they looked right, because it's an LLM and generating plausible nonsense is exactly what it's good at.
Or worse, you just relied on a vague memory that other people said the reason they have to do something reprehensible was because it's legally required, and even though you've heard that bullshit from a dozen US politicians in the last week and know it's bullshit you thought they must be correct.
