I am currently working on a fiction book and my characters work for a company that in real life has been out of business for 30 years, but in my fiction book there is an alternate scenario and it happens to survive to the present day. This company is central to the book as many of the characters work there. Would there be any trademark or other infringment problem using the actual company name which has not been in business for 30 years?
