G.E.signs Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 hello, i am having a bit or trouble with a design that i have. i have received a message from sombody that says they own the rights to reproducing the zebra print effect, the leopard print effect and the keep calm and carry on logo. i have read on wiki that no one owns the rights to keep calm and carry on but not sure please help. also is it possible to trademark the animal prints? there not the same image as the person that is complaining they are simlar but all leopard and zebra prints are going to be simlar arnt they??? hope someone can help me many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDeville Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi This is not a factual fact but could be after a bit more reseach - its not a 'trade mark' buta copyright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't see how you could copyright animal prints tbh. Does that mean if I go and skin a tiger and use it as a rug, I should be paying royalties to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat owl Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 If their rights have been filed and agreed why not simply ask them to provide a copy of the copyright/trademark documentation and judge for yourself exactly what they have protected ??
