Can I be sued for selling an item, say an ornament, with collge colors and name on it?

Question

Can the CLC, The Collegiate Licensing Co., sue me for using college colors or painting a bulldog that looks like the GA bulldog or the FL gator?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes. These are copyrighted images.

You can paint similar images, but not the same images. You must also not try to pass them off as representing the respective colleges.

Answer 2

reselling something you legally purchased that already has that logo is probably legal.

making something that uses a copyrighted logo and selling it is theft of the copyrighted material and theft of the commercial opportunity to make and sell such merchandise.

Then you can be both sued and, in Florida and other states, criminally indicted for the theft of business opportunity.

You'll like even the low security prison. Meet lots of new people - on their terms. Learn new skills. Too bad there's nowhere to run to.

Answer 3

it's the same way that bakeries sell Hello Kitty cookies with Whiskers on them

Answer 4

Go big Orange...whooo hoooooooooooo!



p.s. Go VOLS!
