Resale of licensed fleece
Posted by Anonymous . updated on 2/26/2009
Hi. I am starting a new website, where I will design blankets for each person's personal wishes. To do this I must use many of the licensed fabrics from NFL, Disney, etc. Is it legal to use licensed fabrics and make a profit from the sale of the finished product? Thanks. :-/

Hi. ?Quick question, if there is such a thing. ?I have made decorative burp cloths with spiderman print and raggedy ann licensed print. ?
From what I have read, I'm gathering that I can not sell them for profit. ?Am I alowed to sew on my company logo onto them and use them as a raffle item where I will be giving them away for free? ?Or am I not to have any association with the licensed print at all and not sew on our logo...
Please help!

Why do you conclude you can't sell them for profit?
FWIW, if you can't sell them for profit, you likely can't raffle them off either.

Jeff-
But I'm not making a profit on them, I'm giving them away for free.
We were thinking of doing a fair where they have asked vendors to donate an item that they would be giving away every hour to keep shoppers around.
Still can't do it??And if I can, as to my previous question and I allowed to have my company logo on the print??

I was about to post a new question about "second-order" licensing on a hi-tech product, but I've realized it's closely related to this post on fleece. I'll boil it down to a hypo to avoid disclosing specifics (also the tech is hard to explain.) Suppose "A" holds a patent for the base material silicon. "B" pays for a license from "A" to manufacture a silicon integrated circuit. "C" buys a silicon chip from "B" and uses it to build a computer. "A" then goes after "C" for a licensing fee. But all "C" did was buy the chip from "B", so I don't get it. "B" already payed "A" for rights to use silicon. How far can "A" string this along? "D" then buys the computer from "C" to build a control system, etc. Where does it end?
