Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Tennessee

Re: Copyright Infringement

The words "Jedi Assembly" would be copyright infringement. A picture of the light saber would be trademark infringement and/or "passing off" someone else's product as yours. You need to contact Lucas Entertainment and obtain appropriate licenses before marketing these products.

Re: Copyright Infringement

Yes!!!Please go through formsl licensing process.

Re: Copyright Infringement

They could also assert trademark and unfair competition claims. You don't want to fool with someone like Lucasfilm. They have "The IP Force" and they will find you and come down on you like Darth Vader leading a band of Storm Troopers. Do like Amy says and pursue a licensing deal.

Re: Copyright Infringement

Prior two replies are correct in that (i) you would be infringing a variety of rights, (ii) they WILL come and hunt you down. However, the merchandising rights for a property like this are probably already licensed out on an exclusive basis (meaning, they likely cannot grant you a license because some other company already has exclusive rights to sell T-shirts bearing the Star Wars property elements).

Re: Copyright Infringement

Exceedingly likely to result in more legal trouble than you ever believed possible!
