licensing trademark
Can I use race track information in my application?
<p>I`m developing a comercial app and I'm going to include some information about racetracks to it. I'm going to use follow information: a name of racetrack, a distance of one lap, names of turns. The app isn't a game.</p>

<p>I couldn't find any rules for using racetraks names. Some racetrack like Nürburgring belongs to commercial firms, so it names can be trademarks. What about are racetracks belong to goverments? Should I ask about licens for it?</p>

<p>Yes you can.</p>

<p>The pieces of information you are going to include are <em>facts</em>. Facts are not copyrightable.</p>

<p>The names will be trademarks but you will not be pretending to have any connection with them, so just using them for reference is fine.</p>
