Hello,

If I wanted to name my business Where the Wild Things Are would I be infringing on copyright laws?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Yes, you would be infringing.

The book was written in 1963. The author died in 2012.

The book still has copyright protection for many, many years to come:

U.S. Copyright Office - Copyright Law: Chapter 3

Don't do it.
