2000ad suspected IP infringement thread

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Given the frequency  of thse things, I wonder if we should have one place to report suspicions? I realise we may get some false positives, but maybe one place to have them is sensible and if there is no problem the report can be deleted?

And, with that, I give you:

Found 'cos I was looking for a mousepad, if any merc-droids are looking on. No mention of official licences.

Is that noise I hear Commando Forces exploding, or ejaculating?

Zazzle is just like Cafepress you can upload anything and they print to order.

I like the optimism they display by doing female versions of that shirt.

[Dandontdare]

They're not exactly stunning designs are they?

Tell them to accept my script submissions, too.

Your going to have a hard time alleging that the word Dredd is a (C) infringement when no design rights (the font) or graphic image is being used. Judge Dredd would be a delimited trademark, Dredd without an illusion to the comic or even comics per say (ie COMICS ICONS #1: DREDD) very unlikely to be one at all (regardless of registering, you would have a hard time advocating to an adjudicator that the term Dredd covers all contexts).

Am off to make mi 'ALPHA' tshirts up now....

Isn't Dredd a trademark? If not, then on a site with a url ending "2000ad+gifts" I think it would be shooty-in to show that it was creating sufficient confusion among customers to establish infringement of "Judge Dredd".

The site even uses 2000ad as a meta-tag.

Heck, I found it because I was looking for a Judge Dredd mousepad - how much more do you need?

[Dandontdare]

as discussed elseewhere, there's a pornstar calls himself Dredd - if Rebellion sue him, that's a court case I'd like to sit in on!

[Richmond Clements]

that's a court case I'd like to sit in on!

Expert witness?
