The most defensible mark is a made up word (assuming someone else hasn't
made it up already). So for instance, I'll bet Dinotopia is a trademark (for
the book(s?) and related memorabilia). Think of something you can cobble
together from evocative roots that together form a new word entirely.
The name of your land would normally be good (Greyhawk, for example); but
you want to sort of hit the generic "lost world" setting, usable in a number
of campaigns. This does open you up to a host of imitators, since the idea
is clearly not original. All the more reason to have a recognizable,
defensible trademark to disgtinguish your "High Quality Lost World" from all
the knock-offs you will inspire (I hope).
