Can the term Western Pacific Railroad be used in artwork without infringing on copyright laws?In: Arts and Crafts |
[Edit] |
How the names of companies may be used is generally a matter of trademark law rather than copyright law. If the artwork draws on another creative work that uses the company name (here, Western Pacific Railroad), there could be a copyright issue.
If the artist cannot afford to speak with an intellectual-property attorney (who should be familiar with both copyright and trademark law), the artist could check with the bar association for his or her state and ask whether there is a chapter of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts in the state. There is a potentially helpful listing at http://www.vlany.org/legalservices/vladirectory.php .
