Some things have really been bugging me and I know this group is the place to go to for the answers. Let's say I want to embroider a can koozie for someone and...
OK with winter coming up I have been thinking of 'trying' my hand at digitizing some snowflakes. The logical place for me to get my artwork would be have...
I doubt if anyone would challenge your use of paper cut out snowflakes as patterns. Just save your paper templates and you should have no problem. Terri...
You can NOT embroider a product name on an item for sale. Product names are trademarked. A trademark is very important to a company and they have control...
I didn't think I could do it. I have original sayings, but I was going to use the name of the product within the saying. How does that work for team names?...
I found a book that I bought several years ago, today, that is full of iron on images. My take on the copyright is that I can digitize the designs, as long...
If you cut them yourself, and did not use a pattern it would be very hard for someone to claim the artwork as theirs. Scanning them in would be a good idea as...
Team names are trademarked too. If it is a well known team, company, cartoon, or product it is protected and can not be used. Terri Hanson Terradon Embroidery...
Just a small correction on Team names and product names. It would be legal to say "The Pirates", but not use their lettering or say "The Pittsburg Pirates"...
This is all very confusing to me. If I were to embroidery "Georgia Bulldogs", in a generic font, on an item, would I be in violation of any copyrights?...
... embroidery "Georgia Bulldogs", in a generic font, on an item, would I be in violation of any copyrights? Certainly "Georgia" could not be copyrighted. In...
As strange as it may seem, I recall a discussion a few years back (on a craft/sewing list - not embroidery) about someone getting into problems when they...
I'm hoping I can explain this where it is understandable. You can't trademark Georgia or Bulldogs or Dawgs as single words. But Georgia Bulldogs would be...

It seems strange to me that I live in a country known for Freedom of Speach, that we could be so restrained about what we are allowed to sew out. Isn't that...
Better be care MUDD..."BIG DOGS" is a copyrighted brand logo!!!! ... Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business....
This is beginning to sink in. My first idea was to make a can koozie that said "Warning! Hands off my Diet Dew" That is what made me start to wonder about...
The people who had the fight with Disney over the licensed fabrics have a
web site: www.tabberone.com Note that there was no final court ruling about it, but...
Thank you. Your explanation was very understandable, but just goes to underline the fact that there is a very, very narrow line dividing legal and copyright...
Nancy, Go talk to the high school. I know the school where my DS attends absolutely loves it when I do designs, even if only the name, for the kids. Of...
Brands (and logos) are trademarked - not copyrighted. You can search at the
US Patent and Trademark office. http://www.uspto.gov/index.html You will be...
You are not prevented from using the word "Eagles" but if your "Eagles" design bares a resemblance and/or suggests a connection to the protected pro team logo,...
The favorite liquor store in East Texas is "Fat Dog's", but even that is common words. But I sure wouldn't go copy the Dog in their logo and the Digitize Fat...
I've been reading this post with great interest after just joining this group. I see people ALL the time at crafts shows with "illegal" GA Bulldog, GA Tech,...
I might do that. My dad taught at the high school. They don't like me very much, though. I pulled my son out of there when he was a sophomore, because they...
It would seem that way, but these people have registered a business name and have worked hard to develop the recognition of the brand name. If they give...
Hi Nancy what is a Koozie I live in England so never heard this is it a sweatshirt ... From: Nancy B To: copyrightandembroidery@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
A Koozie is a foam/neoprene can holder. We buy them flat and embroider a design or name, then stitch up the sides. They help keep drinks cold. Nancy Hi Nancy...
