When I asked that last week I was toldy you can't copywright a name.
Hope this helps on saving you the cost of a stamp in seeking expressed written permission to use his name.

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

there's no official process for copywriting stuff in this country. If you create something then you own the copyright to it automatically. You can Trademark names though

There are things you can do to bolster your claim in the event of a dispute tho - dunno if it still applies but there always used to be (up to early 90s at least) as semi-official thing of sending a copy of written works to the Bodleian and the British Library as a way of "registering" copyright.
Christ, I'm sending myself to sleep here

From what I remember it's about proving that you wrote something on a certain date. I think that posting something to yourself with registered post and not opening it is a classic way of doing it. I don't really know to be honest.

I don't really know to be honest. [©] Yep. Authors and scriptwriters etc.. send copies of their work to themselves in case there idea get's nicked. They can then prove when they wrote it. [/©] |

But that wouldn't prove anything other than that they'd sent themselves a letter/package on such and such a date. It would prove nothing about the contents of the package (which is what they're trying to protect). That's why the Bodleian/British Library thing is/was used - as then they can point to the Library Catalog to establish it existed from at least that time (that it was catalogued)

If a case of 'you nicked my idea' went to court, the package can be opened in front of a judge to prove that what's inside (the authors work), was written at said date.
