Can I use a trademarked name in a project, if I don't own the trademark?
I'm currently creating a game, based on Pokémon and I do not own the trademark, copyright, or anything legally related to Pokémon. In my code, I use Pokemon to describe a specific idea; that a Pokemon is a unique member of a Species (Pokemon: Species as Human: Homo sapiens sapiens). Examples: PokemonService: Holds a universally-unique identifier for a Pokemon (ie. 87628491-1246-4bc1-90cd-8b358f7a4f1c) PokemonStatService: Holds any "stat" value associated with a Pokemon (ie. {pokemon_id:87628491-1246-4bc1-90cd-8b358f7a4f1c,stat=Attack,value=10}) PokemonMoveService: Holds any "move" associated with a Pokemon (ie. {pokemon_id:87628491-1246-4bc1-90cd-8b358f7a4f1c,move=Tackle}) Would I be violating trademark, copyright, or something else if I have different constructs in my code that use the characters "Pokemon" to describe that construct?
