http://www.dailywritingtips.com/use-of-t...n-fiction/ - while this is for fiction, I'm sure the practice also covers a project such as yours.
I thought that this was the case, but one of my favorite recent releases (in the past 15 years) ended up in a few lawsuits because of it's use of names.
Granted, the book is all about violence because of the trademarks, and perpetrated by the trademarks, so I wasn't sure if they were mad that he used the names, or because of how he used the names.
