His name is Ka-Ping Yee. But apparently he didn't put his last name in, which I hadn't been previously aware of, so I'm not sure if it was actually the lack of a last name that was the infringement, rather than using the nickname version of his first name. He pointed out that everyone calls him Ping, simply Ping. Which is true. And it's also true that Ka-Ping would have been especially odd, since his own family has used Ping rather than Ka-Ping for him his entire life (the way some people give a child a full name, but always use the nickname version, which my parents did with one of my brothers). But it's hard to say what would have happened if he had put in Ping Yee.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
