Copyrighted images/ logos
« on: 06-22-10 at 01:43 pm »
I am curious as to what the standard is to claim an infringement to a copyrighted logo. How many elements would have to be the same?

There is no magic number of elements.  In a nutshell, if the accused work copied from the copyrighted work, and the elements copied were protectable expressions, the work infringes.
