Here's an article from a 1991 Sports Cards magazine previewing the brand new 1991 Fleer Elite set.

Obviously it was re named Ultra and the reason behind that is because Donruss threatened to sue since they were using that name.

Neat, I remember that.

Similarly, the landmark(ish?) Leaf Rookies & Stars set was originally called Rookie & Chase. I think several different promos exist.

MLB or MLBPA objected to the "Chase" part, thinking it emphasized the rarity/lottery angle of the hobby too much.
