Is having copyrighted names in the keyword fields considered a copyright infringement? (Eg: if you publish a new dating app and you include names such as Tinder in your keywords section).

Today I received an email from Apple's legal section mentioning that another company has filed a complaint indicating that I'm using their copyrighted names in my keywords field. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What was your action to resolve the issue?
 
It's a good question. I'd be interested to know how that would work out from a legal standpoint, and also what the Apple Gods make of it. I appreciate that their opinions may differ! ;-)
