Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
mention name
Hello,
If I sell a small game that has a
cartoon character that mentions a
name like ''Donald Trump'' or just
''Trump'', is that something i can get
sued for?

Re: mention name
This is a tricky situation. Merely mentioning a person's name is not USUALLY a problem, but if the use of the name is done to sell a product or service, or somehow disparages the person to whom you're referring, you may have other problems.
