Doubtful. Consumers are unlikely to confuse one for the other. Neither HP or PS Audio is going to send the other a cease and desist.

Need a Sprout to feed your Sprout?

I have a G & L Nighthawk guitar, one of only a few made under that name. Gretch, who marketed a Nighthawk drum set, took issue with the guitar’s name. I keep wishing that it will be worth a lot of money as one of Leo Fender’s rarer creations, if in name only, but that just hasn’t happened yet.

+1. Incidentally it would be a trademark issue, not copyright. I didn't check but HP and/or PSA would have had to file a federal registration on "Sprout" to begin with in order to allege any infringement...even so although both are electronics any registration would be in typically in two very distinct trademark classes.
