There was a movie out by the same name just last year.  I think they might have some issues with the name of this game.

nah i dont think there will be a problem considering this game has been around much longer than 1 year... 

My guess is the name gets changed before they go live once the owners get wind of it.  Note the dates for the original comic book series from wikipedia:

"The first episodes of V for Vendetta were originally published in black-and-white between 1982 and 1985, in Warrior, a British anthology comic published by Quality Comics. The strip was one of the most popular in the title and featured on several covers during the 26 issues of Warrior."

Hence I definitely believe they do have a problem with the name.

Er no they don't, since when does "V for vendetta" spell "Vendetta online" ??

explain how those 2 simple names are the same when they are not.

Trademarks don't have to be exact, close is good enough as it has been proven time and time again in court cases.  This is more than close enough.  If the owners protect their property, the name will get changed.  Don't understand how intelligent human beings with the web at their feet can't do a simple name search to avoid such problems.

You cannot trademark an actual word.

Trademarks are the content associated with it. As long as this is a space game and not a masked superhero game revolving around a revolution there can be no problems.

And no the phrase "V for Vendetta" cannot be trademarked, it is too simple a term. while "Z for Zorro" can be trademarked because Zorro is an original character, and not a part of the English language.

I think if there was going to be an issue about it, we'd have heard about it by now as the game is 4 years old.

umm no (damn how many times can you be wrong ><)

I think the name is the least important part of a game. If they end up having to change it, so be it. It will not take anything away from the gameplay. Too many games rely on marketing instead of actual quality of game, it's a shame in my opinion.
