Trademarks

This post is not to start controversy, but just for information, ....I just thought you might find it interesting reading if you make items to sell. She is certainly more persistent than I am!

I like the fiestiness

I live in the City of Chilliwack. Here is our Flag.


It seems someone from the Tournament of Hearts thought the heart symbols were theirs and should be subject to copyright.
They didn't know that they are heraldic elements and as such are not subject to the copyright laws.

I understand the need for copyrights and the abuses some go through.
I am also dissapointed with the fact that the RCMP symbology has been sold off as a trademark to Disney.

As long as there are lawyers there will be trademaek and copyright battles.
This is just one aspect of scrolling we should be aware of. We should not let it overshadow our enjoyment of the craft.

Enjoyment is the name of the game
