game copyrights?

Is there anywhere can search for copyrighted game names? (to check to see if our game names are already taken)

You can start with these:

NameProtect

Marksonline

US Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS)

There are also many, many companies and lawyers who will perform exhaustive searches for you, for a price.

According to this link, there is not usually any protection for book or movie titles. I'm not sure if this applies to game titles or not, but I found it interesting:
