Passing mentions are reasonable, but if a corporation is central to the story, and especially if there is any controversial appearance of the business, you will want to license the name or create a fictionalized alternative. For example:

  • While on a road trip, Dave and Joe happen to stop at Perkins for lunch. Should be okay.
  • While on a road trip, Dave and Joe stop exclusively at Perkins restaurants across the country. Should license.
  • While on a road trip, Dave and Joe contract mononucleosis, which doctors ultimately track to the place they stopped for lunch. Should fictionalize.

An informal but interesting way to think about this is, if the book were to become a movie, would the business let you shoot a scene there?
