Copyright on a product
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:29 pm
Hi guys.
I started a small company selling small wooden packaging, but I've just got an email from an overseas business, that the design is their's and I can sell it as they have the copyrights on it. The product is a wooden box with the sliding lid and the logo engraved on it. It looks like a small wine bottle box that you can buy as a personalized gift.
There are another few places that sell stuff like this and the dimensions are roughly the same, but I'm using different wood.
What's your thought, can they actually have copyrights on a wooden box? Sorry if it's a silly question, but I have no clue about ins and outs of copyright law.
