Here are the guts of what would I would put in a PODLINGNAMESEARCH for Royale. I don't see anything blocking, but I don't know if there is an issue with using former Macromedia project code names. It doesn't appear that Macromedia registered it.
Interestingly the first definition for "Royale" is not at all what I thought [1]. It is for food. But it certainly hasn't stopped lots of folks from using the second definition in product names [2]. EVIDENCE OF OPEN SOURCE ADOPTION A search on Github for "Royale" returns 705 repositories. The first two pages are results seem to have lots of references to a game called "Clash Royale" and "Battle Royale". There is one repo for a "React-esque framework for Javascript" There is a Royale project on SourceForge, but it looks empty [4] and a "Royale OS" project that is attempting to be an alternative to Windows [5]. The link to the website for Royale OS is broken. EVIDENCE OF REGISTRATION Royale has been registered multiple times: 1) Restaurant and bar services 2) Entertainment 3) Paints 4) Dinnerware 5) Wine 6) Backpacks Royale Software was registered but is now deemed "DEAD". EVIDENCE OF USE ON WORLD WIDE WEB Google search turned up an "OSRoyale" project [6] and a search for "Royale Software" turned up [7]. In addition there are products with "Royal" instead of "Royale" like [8] and [9]. Also Macromedia used "Royale" as the code name for Flex. A search for "Macromedia Royale" turns up some hits.
