tgbvinyl 7 Posted June 22, 2012 Okay, I searched for a hour and didn't find anything on here, People on Amazon and Ebay and a lot of decal website sell the logos of pro sports teams, and other popular companies and stuff. I'm mainly wondering about sports teams, how do you get permission for cut and sell those? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted June 22, 2012 most of those people don't have a license,on EBAY./Amazon.. Unless they are selling real licensed items. and just haven't been caught yet...They will some day. , Most Pro teams require a HUGE FEE to get a license. And you pay them a percent of your profits. You must meet there quota for sales...ALOT.., and make the decals to their quality and standards. Professionally done. You have a contract with them... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgbvinyl 7 Posted June 22, 2012 Guess I won't sell any sport decals, What about decals like the monster logo, the fox racing head, the shocker decal. and what about clip art I buy, I just wanna be sure before I sell anything and get in trouble! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted June 22, 2012 If you didn't create it,,, and have permission to reproduce it, from the owner of the company and or trademark It is copyright infringement, The answer is NO. They are all trademarks and copyright items.

tgbvinyl 7 Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks Skeeter! When you buy clipart you buy the rights to use it correct? As for stuff on this forum, in the graphic section. I'm assuming they put that on there given permission to use it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted June 22, 2012 NO, you do not purchase the rights to use copyright items on clipart., without the owners of the trademark/copyright permission...... Most items are put here to use, EXCEPT logos, copyright items,, that belong to a company. Somebody may put up a cool Chevy logo, BUT you don't have permission to sell them.
