Copyrights and Logos
From time to time our clients will ask us to print items for them, featuring what is clearly a copyrighted design or logo. We have been asked to print the logo of professional football teams, racing teams and baseball teams, without the copyright holder’s permission.
We have always declined these orders and always try to educate our clients on the pitfalls of violating someone’s copyright, trademark and licensing procedures. When creating new designs for your promotional products and printed, marketing materials (or even your child’s youth sports league) it is a good idea to make sure you are not infringing on someone else’s rights.
