ericsch333 0 Posted March 11, 2013 can you sell stuff like hello kitty and tinker bell stickers how do you know if you are breaking any rules ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted March 11, 2013 Nope they are trademarked. You have to go to each company and ask for permission which usually costs you money. I know there's a lot of people on eBay doing it illegally, however I wouldnt with the fines etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted March 11, 2013 I wanted to do some things that are trademarked I got knocked down by coca cola and the other one never replied back which gives me the feeling they don't care cause I'm such a small company and I have bought their product for a decade.

Rodger 527 Posted March 11, 2013 There are legal companies that go after copyrighted stuff on a commision it seems . 1 member had a person specifically ask for a De-Walk sticker & to have an itemized bill . A 95 cent decal cost Lara4labs at least $1K lawyer retainer . A VERY long thread in here about it ... it did have several tangents ( if you want to read it , search for De-Walt , Lara4labs ... it is 17 + pages from memory ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimnAng 56 Posted March 11, 2013 It's around there somewhere, I remember reading it a couple of weeks ago. It ultimately is what helped my husband and I make the decision NOT to mess with copyrighted/trademarked material. We were tossing around the idea of taking the risk, and after reading that thread- decided against it. I know those items are popular, but there are so many other cool designs and ideas out there. Not worth the risk! Ang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
