FYI all - This font which Mike Fitton posted the link to, appears to be a separate font created by a third party, & therefore outside of any Porsche trademarks. Of course a quick check on the US Copyright Office website can confirm this as fact or fiction.
http://www.dafont.com/914.font Assuming the copyright checks out as legit, then there is no reason why it couldn't be used by any of us for the stated non-commercial uses - however, hat or pin sales would be commercial. The owner of the copyright could grant commercial use for them himself, if he so chose to do so. In most cases on which I've been advised, the challenge from someone like Porsche would go to that copyright owner first - which they had their chance at the time of copyright approval. IF they later prevailed on a subsequent challenge, then they could send notices to any users of the font that they have defeated the copyright, & that the font can no longer be used (I have no idea if that was in the above noted letters to Andy about 914world's use, nor if he was using this other font). This is according to what legal advice I've had from my business legal counsel in the past on similar legal matters, & from my MBA business law classes. I only post this for the benefit of the others on here who are making the hats, etc. & using this font (or similar non-Porsche font) - & not to further bother Andy. Mike & some others using it are my friends, & I'd like them to have the info. JMHO from this "armchair lawyer" ;-) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
