Can I use chocolate names in a poem?
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2025 3:52 pm
Hi all I'm new here so sorry if this has been covered.
I design digital items to sell. Alot are chocolate board templates but I want to start designing chocolate box poems. I haven't in the past because it means using a photo of say a cadbury 'time out' bar and I read you can't use their photos due to copyright.
I have drawn a blue sweet shape and written timeout on it. The poems would be something like....' I wanted to take some TIMEOUT to tell you'.... The timeout would be the drawing. Someone would buy the poem, stick it to a box and fill the box with the chocolate bars in the poem so the poems promote sales for the chocolate companies. They would use them for personal use or for a small business.
Does this infringe on any copyright laws do you know?
Many thanks for any help and hope the above makes sense.
