I want to stay on the correct side of the law. I know almost Disney fabric but what nigh other fabrics? I want to make some items from a fabric with printed flames. The mfg. name is printed forth the salvages. Does that signal that this is a No-No textile and must not exist used for items that will be sold? OR..would at that place be other words along the salvage that would betoken a licensed fabric? Thanks for your help. Nell

The selvage will will say if it's licensed. Alot of manufacturers have their proper name and style # along the selvage, but that is unlike than a license.

The licensed fabrics I've seen have printing on the selvage indicating that it's a licensed fabric. Some examples that come to mind: Pokemon, Sorcerer of OZ, Anything Disney, any flick or cartoon grapheme, Professional sports teams, College sports teams.
You are on the right rails, though. If the material uses a copyright epitome that they have licensed from someone else, it volition land that on the selvage printing. It really includes the discussion "licensed".

What does that mean if it's a licensed fabric? I thought that once you bought something, it was yours. If you buy a licensed fabric, you've paid for it, and if it was a copyrighted design, the designer has already been paid, through the buy of the textile. How tin they and so say that if you make something out of that fabric, you lot tin can't sell what you've made? You wouldn't be copying the blueprint, you'd merely be making something out of the purchased cloth.

Thank you to all you "fabric fashioners" I will soon be knee deep in neck coolers 'er what e'er they are chosen. My chosen flame printed fabric only has the mfg. proper noun and not once mentions licensed! These will await and experience soooooo cool at the motorcycle races. Nope, I don't ride or race..... my Son and Grandson are the official photographers. The very thought of me on a motorcycle is frightening

I would highly recommend checking with a copyright attorney rather than taking anyone's discussion for it. To find you're in error for relyiing on someone else'due south personal stance could exist very expensive.

They can't legally make that claim, though. The first auction doctrine had repeatedly held up in courtroom.
"Licensed" fabric refers to a contract betwixt the fabric manufacturer and the possessor of the copyright or trademark.

That sounds pretty interesting,and peradventure that'due south a contempo evolution?
Merely I have personally had a run in with the Disney 'police' so I'm not that comfortable taking chances. A few years back I used to help put on country craft bazaars. I live in rural county and there are lots of senior denizen crafters. One Grandmas was making Daisy and Donald ducks from the licensed Simplicity pattern. I wasn't sure if she should be selling them or not, but I thought whatever...anyways the Disney 'police force' were at our small boondocks bazaar demanding we stop selling them or they would take u.s. to court.
