Hi Dave,
I think a name or trademark has to be officially claimed before rights are allocated to those who have taken the initiative. If nobody has ever claimed the name Black Magic for the restoration then IMHO nobody has to ask for permission or even pay for the rights to use it.
I am not sure about this compared to the Black Magic situation but for example. When our Royal Couple got their baby princess last december they had to make sure the name for their firstborn wasn't known or indeed they had claimed the name for an internetpage before the name(s) became public, to avoid others claiming the name.
