    Can I use the name of a company in the title of an eBook? (The book would mention the company many times, but not say anything negative about them.)

    For example:

    "Losing Weight With Your Wii Fit"

    or

    "Scrabble Secrets"

    or

    "How to Be a Winning McDonald's Manager"


    Can I do that kind of thing?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Of course! If you couldn't, there wouldn't be any technical books or user guides!

    I see nothing wrong with Wi Fi and Scrabble. Just be sure you won't mislead your readers into thinking that you actually worked at McDonald's (if you haven't). First-hand experience always makes a good and credible read.

    Thank you both.

    The book isn't about McDonalds or Scrabble or Wii - those were just examples. The book is based on something I truly do have experience with.

    Gracias!
