Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Georgia

Re: Logo

In many cases the logo creator may get a Copyright of the work. Were you involved in the actual creation of the logo except for the payment? Did you have a work agreement in writing?

Re: Logo

Generally, the entity that pays to have a third party create a logo owns the trade or service mark. However, there may a contract that reads otherwise.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

Re: Logo

The payor may own the mark but its copyright would be owned by the designer/creator of the logo unless there is a written agreement stating that the logo was a work-for-hire. You would be well advised to get that agreement and should confer with an attorney to do so.
