Got a letter for trademark infringement. They're asking for information. What am I obligated to provide?

Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by David Scott Safran (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
No, you are not required to voluntarilly provide such information as " the date of the sales, quantity, price, and name and location of customer made by you or for you- ". Of course, should they institute litigation, they may be able to obtain such information via discovery. In this case, since you have terminated all of the acts they have complained of, it is highly unlikely that they would institute litigation since the costs could exceed anything that they might hope to recover assuming that you have not had a hugh volume of sales and they might not even be correct in their assertions of trademark infringement (you have not indicated whether your mark was  identical to theirs and for essentially the same goods, or whether you had prior knowledge of the other party's trademark)....

What exactly is a license agreement for the use of intellectual property, and how does it differ from a standard sales contract?

Answered 13 years and 9 months ago by David Scott Safran (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
A license does not transfer ownership; it merely gives you the right to use another's intellectual property under the terms of the license.

I am considering opening my own business making my own music videos. Will I need the permission of the artists to publish videos using their songs?

Answered 14 years and 3 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
Yes. The owner of the copyright in the songs (and also in the performances) has the exclusive right to reproduce those songs. You need to obtain permission. You will probably be required to pay for it, but occasionally such permissions are granted gratis.

Getty Images claiming copyright infringement and trying to make me pay $965 within 14 days. Gave no warning.

Answered 14 years and 5 months ago by Mr. David R Conklin (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
Ok...bad news first: United States law no longer requires the use of a copyright notice.  Further, a copyright is created as soon as the image, song, literary work, calendar or other original works of authorship is fixed in a tangible medium of expression.  Unfortunately for you, Getty Images has every legal right to demand payment for use of their image, regardless of what you did or did not know.  Potential good news: You did the right thing by removing the image from your site.  I have no experience with Getty Images, however, your gesture of submission may be sufficient for them to call off the hounds.  Be sure to let them know that you acted innocently, have now been educated and know the error of your ways, and will be sure to educate others about Getty Image's property rights.  If that doesn't work, you may be able to negotiate a lesser fee based on the limited time of use. Lesson learned:  In the words of my mother: "If it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it unless you have the money to buy it".  How true.... Read More
