Copyright or trademark infringement????
« on: 05-28-11 at 03:11 pm »

I am in the process of having some products made and just realized something.

My picture/logo is unique - commissioned an artist to make it for me. However, I'm not sure on the saying. For instance my saying (not real saying, but example) is, "Bob went to the store" and then below it "To buy some milk".

Now I have been looking online (could not find anything from a cursory search on trademarks/copyrights (.gov). The only thing I could find online which is currently being used for shirts, cups, etc. is this, "I love golf:" and then below (or on the same line) "To buy some milk".

Is the fact that the second portion is exactly the same as mine (though the context and initial portion of the saying is different) reason enough to abandon this idea? I guess I could slightly change the second portion, but I don't think it would have the same "impact". Thoughts?????? Thanks!


I could always change the second part. The second part is a negative phrase, yet the 180 degree opposite of this is positive - sort of like "I hate thieves" to "I love the honest" - any preference as to how to proceed? The "positive" or "negative" version???
