"Stay Calm" Copyright

[accdave]

Your right Martin these are imported by Lesser and Pavey. I sold these mugs over Christmas and they was a good line, but now they are sold every where.

Does that mean they aren't tat then ?

Did you sell any mail order, if so how much was the postage ?

there was a large order of keep calm stuff coming into one of the supermarkets, they have now decided that they will not be selling it, its been passed on via various wholesalers who are selling it on in smaller amounts, there will be shed loads around, and if ebay are getting wary of selling it - then it will be a "keep calm car boot frenzy" lol

Did you notice the promotional stall with the wall full of KEEP CALM posters at TONS Laura.

No they are not tat, lol, they was 1.35 without vat, ( you had to buy in 6 and the min was £200 ) for that price and boxed. the one one with crown was a licence one and that cost more than the one which was shown as a image. I should image that postage would be same as a normal mug

[mrs maggot]

yes jack i did notice them, the gardening mat made me laugh - as it has a double meaning for anyone who uses vinyl "keep calm and keep weeding"

Does anyone have clarification on the classic I HEART xxxxxx slogan tshirts etc?
I heard that I <3 London and a few other UK cities were successfully trademarked last year, we used to do many of these, and still do for local things, but it is a worry that a moneybags can use bad law to claim ownership for something that they ripped of anyhow.
Any thoughts?

the company have copyrighted every town/village in the uk and all major cities in the world, they have an advert in P&P normally telling you to get in touch and see how much they want to rip you off (i mean charge you) for using "their" slogan, it is bieng fought, and there is a growing fight against it, i think i posted the link to the fighting group on here before when this came up

Hi Logobear,
If you were using these slogans before whoever trademarked them, then I think you can still use them - I ain't stopping
