Thank you for clarifying that. My brain was actually thinking
"trademark", but my fingers typed "copyright." Damn fingers.

Anyway, according to my dad (who knows these things), there are companies
that specialize in trademark searches. It costs about $500. Your call if
you want to go through the trouble -- it might make more sense just to
try it, see if Activision raises a stink, then change the name if they do.
