Hopefully one of you can at least send me in the right direction. I'm designing a PC game that includes a fictional toy robot from Japan. The package design will include Japanese Kanji/Characters, most notably the symbol for death, or Shi, using one of the Japanese fonts that come with windows. I plan on placing the symbol on many of the weapons the robot uses. But how do I know if some Japanese company doesn't already have that as their logo or trademark or something? Or is that kinda thing not copyright-able?
Also if someone can direct me to a good resource for avoiding copyright infringement in general as my game is set in the 80s and I plan on parodying some of the iconic toys from the era, like those styrofoam planes that you got at birthday parties and I want to know how different my design needs to look in order to not get sued. Thanks.
Great design resource
