Legal Issue
I’m currently writing a novel in which one of the protagonists smokes a particular unique brand of cigarettes. This brand eventually becomes a symbol for this character.
Am I legally able to use the brand name in the book? Can I use it as the title? (Assuming I can’t) How do I go about getting permission to use their name? How much will it cost me?
(It happens to be an Indonesian brand, does that make a difference?)
The novel I’m working on could be categorized as realism, how can I make it culturally realistic, and yet avoid legal issues on every page?
