Re: Mudflap girl
This implicates more than merely copyright, but also trademark law. The only way to know for sure is to conduct searches of the copyright office and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records.
In the meantime, a review of the website, catalogs, etc. from the company/ies that make the mudflaps might yield useful information
Our firm can help with the research, and advise you accordingly. If you'd like to explore this further, please contact me.
