Its a very interesting question!
When I did my first ARG - Compulsive Obsession - I created a pharmacy called "Phyto Pharma Brasil" . It was administered by bandits and traffickers of human organs. I consulted the Brazilian Institut of Patents (INPI) and I asked permission to use the name Phyto Pharma Brasil - it was avaible. I made the register and 3 months later a man called me to say he was the Phyto Pharma Brasil owner. He required me to take off the pharmacy from my ARG . Of course I did not this because I konw the name was avaible. I think this man was an opportunistic one.
In this case I had to consult lawyers to learn how to register the name in INPI before starting my ARG.

Yes, I did!
Well, it wasn't really a lawyer. But I asked permission for a flash mob.
With a lot of people (and I mean a lot!) we were celebrating the coming of
spring with a chalking-fest! ;-)
This took place at a big town-square in the city of Utrecht (the Netherlands)
Because this chalking-frenzy was part of my graduation, I had to ask permission
from the local authority. (School didn't want to get in some kind of
trouble)
Of course they agreed, it just chalking!
