Check yourself! Two more bands are defending their rights

Music is more interesting when it is listened to live, which is also the charm of the band. Although they are not as popular as traffic stars, the band has its own loyal fan base, and various peripherals are also very popular. Therefore, various celebrity peripherals have formed an industrial chain, and fans are easily addicted to consumption, which also leads to many sellers wanting to take advantage of the popularity. The entry point is good, but remember to do a good job of patent search, Motley Crue and Sabaton are minefields.

Motley Crue

Motley Crue is a very popular metal rock band in the 1980s. Their strong visual impact is their distinctive feature. They have been established for 40 years. Although many people are not very interested in them, they are a representative existence in the hearts of rock fans and have a certain fan base. There are also many similar models on sale on the official website.

Currently, the band belongs to Keith's law firm. Sellers must not have any bad intentions. According to inquiries, "MOTLEY CRUE" and "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS" are registered word trademarks, and "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS" is one of their representative songs. Sellers should be careful not to use them without permission.

Sabaton

Sabaton is from Sweden, and is also a metal rock band that has been established for more than 20 years. The "Sabaton" on various peripheral products is also quite eye-catching, and it interprets the concept of rock very well. When printed on clothes, the cool and wild style comes naturally. But please note that the band name "Sabaton" also has trademark rights, especially the iconic logo, which must not be copied.

Currently, the band has been involved in two cases, with more than 500 sellers accused in total , involving popular e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Wish, and eBay. Amazon search found that there are still many similar products on sale, and sellers should do a good job of self-examination.

In addition to the "Green Day" band mentioned above , band infringement is also common in recent times. Some English letters on clothes may seem ordinary, but such simple English words may hide the risk of infringement. Sellers should be careful not to step on thunder.

It's not just bands. Most popular products have patents on file. You need to be cautious when selecting products and don't blindly follow the trend.
