Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Kansas

Re: Copyright

You need to concern yourself more with Trademark infringement. Any business with a new name needs to have their IP atty do a comprehensive search prior to naming the business, setting up website etc. Failure to do so can get very expensive.

Re: Copyright

This is a trademark issue, not one of copyright. The name of a book is not ordinarily protectable unless part of a series. In any case, your proposed use has nothing to do with the book industry, so there would be no likelihood of customer confusion between the two uses.

That said, it would be advisable for you to have a trademark clearance search done to determine whether there is another user of the name in some kind of business related to yours.
