Trademark / Copyright Resources for T-Shirt Designers

We aren't laywers at Printaura but here is some information to get you started if you have trademark / copyright questions or issues relating to t-shirt designs or slogans.

United States Patent and Trademark Office

This site is a must visit for anyone who has any doubt as to the legality of printing a word, phrase or design on a t-shirt. You can do a search to see if something is trademarked but remember just because there are no results in the trademark database doesn't necessarily mean that its legal. Copyright, trademark, and intellectual property are extremely tricky. When in doubt always consult a lawyer to prevent future lawsuits from image violations.
