So, I found myself in a quandary over the use of brand names in my story. Doing a little research, I came across a few articles pretty much saying I could use brand names if I didn't used them in a negative light. What are your thoughts on this?

@Outrider51 Hi! Personally I wouldn't use them at all. I had a friend who used the brand name of a perfume. A couple weeks later, she changed it as she told me someone told her not to use it at all. Think it was something like Coco Channel ... not a popular brand anymore. But if you found this article that says we authors can use them without being worried for copyright infringement, can you please share it? Thanks in advance.
