: : : I have an idea which would involve the use of NFL Team Logos that I feel is unique and would sell like hotcakes in all NFL markets. Being a novice to this, I have a number of questions; : : : 1. What is the cost of an NFL Properties license, how long does it last, and what % of each sale does the NFL demand, and can I use it to market more than one product? : : : 2. As stated my idea involves the use of team logos. Despite the is fact, would I be able to obtain copyright or patent protection to protect the "non-NFL" or intellectual portion of my idea? : : : 3. I know that the initial cost of Licensure is quite high. Would if I sought an entity with an wxisting license, is it legal for me to pursue a contractual agreement with said entity? : : : Sorry about the length of this but I have no idea where to go next. : : : Any help would be appreciated. : : : Dan : : : : Dan, : : Call 1.212.450.2780. You'll get a recording at NFL Properties. Get to an operator, ask her to put you in touch with the Admin in the Licensing department, plead ignorance, and go from there. : Dear Dan, : The number is probably correct. My experience has been that Theare not interested in small operators and that they want a BIG payment up front aginst minimum royalties. : M.
