    I think trademark is what you are wanting to do.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    On just a lure name, that's a lot of money involved with added renewable fees involved for a trademark.. Company name, yes. Once it is printed and available to the public, it is copyrighted. However you can not file suite against another party for using the same name if you don't have the gold seal.. Now you can file for a copyright IF the logo has enough artwork involved, and with the name included you are asking about. Then it would be copyright infringement. Copyright infringement on many cases pay better than a patent infringement.
