Stamp usage question
Hi group,
I made my own rubber stamp from a Speedball kit and someone asked me if they could get a copy of it. I was quite flattered at first, but now I realize that if I give them a copy, it will be out of my control to some extent. I don't know how to go about it - if I give them a copy, they could in turn make copies and sell it without my knowledge. Or use it in some way without credit, etc. I guess that's the risk you run...but I would like to know how I could minimize my risk. Thanks, Christine |

Stamp usage question
Christine,
This is more a legal copyright question. I suggest you read the U.S. Copyright Office's FAQ: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wccc As I understand it, your stamp had an implied copyright the moment you creating. Enforcing that copyright, of course, is a whole other discussion! Good luck! --Barbara |

I would also check into the Trademark things too. Just my humble
opinion.
