As long as you're not making the title of your book Red Talon you don't run into problems. Even if you are naming your book Red Talon it's very easy to avoid trademark infringement by making your title distinctively different visually and that you don't apply for a trademark yourself. So what's to keep me from calling my Louisville Slugger wielding vigilante "Batman"? Or calling a plumber-turned-astronaut "Harry Potter"? These aren't actual characters of mine. I'm just curious how that works. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:950089809] in So, pretty...
