: Impressionist art reproduced in a new genre....
: example being a french cafe scene circa 1870 with today's product placement digitally superimposed on the art. ie, Starbuck's coffee cup on the table, or a United Airline's aircraft flying over. Would this be trademark infringement?

Dear Mr. Powles,

There would be no need for lawyers if there were simple answers. The permutations and combinations of legal possibility of this question would require a treatise to answer the question as asked.

You have copyright law with reproductions registerable and trademarks that can be used including copyright work and the law of unfair competition to deal with.
