Fair Use

Cocky's Way may experience issues with the very name of the app. However, the application is being used in the context of academia. Per UofSC's own website- "Educational use probably will be considered fair use as long as the other principals of fair use (nature, amount, effect on market) are not violated." Additionally, the trademarks that may be used constitute a small portion of the app, which is not being used for the purpose of profit. Therefore, it is unlikely that the usage of the name "Cocky" will be viewed as infringement.* https://sc.edu/about/notices/copyrights_and_trademarks/
