Jes1FromFL Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Say you're selling Adidas shoes on your website. Are you allowed by law to use the Adidas logo on your website without contact them directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 http://www.adidas-salomon.com/en/local/met...gal/default.asp The use of adidas trademarks on any other web site or network computer environment is only allowed if it is explicitly permitted under this web site. I have no idea what that means. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Heinen Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 http://www.adidas-salomon.com/en/local/met...gal/default.asp The use of adidas trademarks on any other web site or network computer environment is only allowed if it is explicitly permitted under this web site. I have no idea what that means. :huh: It means what it says. You can only use the logo on another website than the adidas website when you have permission to use it. So, for the ADIDAS logo, its not allowed to use it without permission...... I don't now if this goes for all trademarks/logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphicsGuy Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't now if this goes for all trademarks/logos That is pretty much the rule for all of them. However, if you contact them and explain that you are setting up a resale site that will be selling their products, many of them will grant you the permission and often provide you with the logos to use. Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.

vinces Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I think this would fall under fair use. David Amherst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMiT Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Doesn't make much sense IMO if you are selling THEIR stuff why not use THEIR logo people please fill out your info ...

GraphicsGuy Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Doesn't make much sense IMOif you are selling THEIR stuff why not use THEIR logo It is mostly a matter of defending their trademark. If they don't actively defend it, they can lose rights to it. If you are selling their product, and request permission, most will authorize it and provide logo images to use. Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.

dynamoeffects Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I think this would fall under fair use. Fair use only pertains to copyrights. Trademarks are completely different.
