: Is an entertainer or author's name protected from other people using the same name? Can someone use an established actress and author's name as the author of their own book? Would the same rules apply if the new author or entertainer uses the name in Canada?

Dear Mr. Freeman,
Canadian and US law are very similar. You have to watch out for the law of unfair competition. It is complex.Unless you like spending for legal fees, even if you win, you don't need to ask for trouble.
