body: I can understand getting sued for starting a train company called Greyhound, but I want to the alter ego of one of my characters to be Greyhound – a reference to the quickness of the canine. However, there is a bus carrier chain that has a similar name called Greyhound Lines Inc. Will I be sued by the bus company or do companies have a nominal monopoly on animals?
