cas26rr 0 Posted April 26, 2008 I have a dumb question. How do you know if there is a copy right on something? We are wanting to sale police & fire license plates (black plate with either blue or red reflective strips). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted April 27, 2008 If the design is already being sold by someone, regardless of media (t-shirts, keychains, etc.) there's probably a good chance that it's copyrighted (servicemarked or trademarked). If you post a sample of the graphic you were planning on using, the forum might be able to help you determine whether there would be any infringement issues. No promises, but we do try (to help as much as possible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted April 28, 2008 Just looks like a black plate with a blue reflective strip across the middle of it. I don't see how someone could "copyright" that. I say go for it, and make a killin' for those dumb firefighters!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
