Political products

I was about to start a business selling products with (ex:) ''clinton08'' on them. Everyting was ready to go with product, website, etc. A goverment lawyer told me I could not. I see these products all over the internet. What would be the reason why I can't. Thank you.

Re: Political products

Hello. In my opinion you would have

to ask permission to display this product online. You may see other products similar to your idea online,

but these individuals could have legal

problems later down the line. From

your posting I am unable to determine

how the government lawyer contacted

you and from which government agency

he came. If you were to copyright

your idea, then you would be in a

better position to challenge an objec-

tion to your plans. I will be happy

to discuss this with you further.
