body: I am not very knowledgeable in the matters of international trademark law so I was hoping to get some insight here. I am considering a development of a computer game and the best name I came up with is **Galactica**. However, I am unsure whether I can use this as the name **Battlestar Galactica** is obviously a trademarked name.
  
  
  The game shall fall into the genre of so called *grand strategy* games which are essentially large empire simulators with a single game playing out for many hours and deep game mechanics. The game would be situated in galactic environment, the player would explore star systems colonize planets and make diplomatic connections and wage wars with other species in the galaxy.
  
  
  Could I get into trouble for naming such a game **Galactica**?
