Not seeking legal advice on this subject...yet
I am seriously considering setting up at local fairs and events with some stock products but am thinking of adding custom products that allow customers the choice of adding a name or short saying to t's or flags.
So I would like some opinions on the possibility of being sued because of printing a trademark slogan on a one of a kind custom shirt printed at the customers request?
Say I have a quad template and someone wanted "just do it" printed along with a checkered flag swish. What is the odds of being sued over a customers idea on a one of a kind shirt?
Just an obvious example... I know Nike has that one and has really deep pockets so I would refuse that request but... there is no way to investigate every saying request at a fair!
Maybe it would be safer to allow names only?
Just in the planning stages now and looking at all the pros and cons.
Thanks, Cathy
