From The Trademark Blog,
Nintendo, owner of the Pokemon property, has protested the use of the name POKEMON by scientist Pier Paolo Pandolfi... to refer to the POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic gene in his Nature article "Role of the proto-oncogene Pokemon in cellular transformation and ARF repression."
Pandolfi has now changed the name of the cancer-causing gene from "Pokemon" to Zbtb7.
