NVM, I just read the rest of the example; that requires unrelated parties sharing the name. Writing Around Trademarks fits this one.

What's the trope where a character gets a Dub Name Change due to possible legal issues? Basically, the original product was produce in Japan, but features Sherlock Holmes. That product just got announced for a Western release, and the character was renamed to Herlock Sholmes, presumably to avoid issues with the estate holding the copyright to the Sherlock Holmes stories still not in public domain.
This is in reference to today's announcement of the English version of Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken, or as it is now called The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
