Legal Question in Business Law in Kentucky

copyrights, patents, and trademarks

Hello! I am trying to get some information about copyrights, patents,trademarks and lisenced products. I would like to start a small business of making quilts (baby quilt's). I am trying to find out if there are any patents, copyrights, ect. on the materials I am wanting to use. By chance if there is I am also wanting to know how to get permission to use them. One of the main problem, is taht I don't know the manufacturer of the materials. PLease! If you can be of any help please email me! [email protected] Thanks for your time!

Re: copyrights, patents, and trademarks

You need to retain local counsel to work with you on a one-to-one basis. He can obtain the information that you need and tailor it to your requirements. The only thing that I can do at this point with no other information, is refer you to the website of the Copyright and Patent offices. You may try that anyway. This is hard to do by yourself since the uninformed may make a mistake quite simply by not knowing how to define something and miss it in the search. You do not want a copyright infringement action brought against you.
