But you can trademark names and images of characters. Both Hells Angels and Skinhead are registered trademarks, for example. And what I have in mind for Humpty Dumpty definitely wouldn't be approved by anyone who could claim ownership of that character.
I could play safe and call him Dumpy Humpy (Humpy Dumpy would make it sound like obesity porn), but I would still want an egg-man type character on the cover. (Eggman is also a trademark, used as an alternative name for Dr Robotnik from the Sonic games).
