Using trademarked names in fiction can be risky. It's best to avoid it unless you have a clear understanding of the legal implications. Even if it seems like a small part of your story, it could cause problems. So, it's often safer to come up with your own names or find creative alternatives.

To ensure proper use, do research on the trademark. Understand what the brand represents and how it's used in the market. Also, make sure your use is clearly fictional and not trying to pass off as something related to the real brand. For example, if you mention a 'Nike' shoe in your story, don't make it seem like it's a new product by Nike within your fictional world.

Most of the time, it's illegal. Trademark laws protect the rights of the owners, and using their characters without authorization can lead to lawsuits and fines. You need to have explicit consent or a license to use them.

One of the main implications is the risk of trademark infringement. If you use a trademarked name in a way that confuses consumers into thinking there's an official connection between your fictional work and the trademark owner, it can be a problem. For example, if you have a character in your novel named 'McDonald' who runs a burger joint in a way that makes readers believe it's related to the real McDonald's, that could be an issue. However, if the use is clearly for artistic or parodic purposes, it may be more likely to be considered fair use.
