I have been developing a story for some months based upon a fictional character that i thought I had invented uniquely ... let's say a half zebra half elephant for example. I named it elezebra. I then find a book written about ten years ago with the same name and character.... I don't think it sold much and I certainly had never heard of it before ... but the name is obvious because it describes the character .... (not like Elezebrer or Eleezebra ...which might make it more unique) Unfortunately the name has been trademarked 9 years ago by the other author... I even have celebrities endorsing my facebook page for it ....(not elezebra by the way)... so I have spent a lot of time and money on my process. Will I have to change my characters name .... :-(
