Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
I made and copyrighted a fantastic ( NFL type )original design for polo shirts that I plan to sell to the NFL.
1.Is copyright protection enough or do I need to patent the design?
2.Do I need a lawyer before presenting the design to a Clothing Co. which may produce some of the polo shirts?...,with hopes that the NFL will offer to buy the design or the Clothing Co. altogether?

Copyright protection is the first step. Now you, with the help of an attorney, need to determine the appropriate means to either sell, assign or license your copyrighted art. Each of these options entails a different type of contract and payment scheme. For instance, you may want to retain ownership of the art, and get paid a percentage of profits (rather than selling or assigning your art outright). I would be happy to help you with this and provide you with a free consultation. Contact me at your earliest convenience.
