In need of some advice and assistance.
If a company / Band etc was to give rights and licensing for its logo or branding to be used on a T-Shirt and then that T-shirt was purchased by a clothes designer and used to make a different item of clothing to be sold.
Would the designer be in violation of Unauthorized use of Trademark and Copyright on clothing.
Although the underlying T-shirt manufacturers would have properly acquired a license to reproduce the logo for T-shirt purposes, does the company have an argument to say they have not, at any time, issued a license to the designer to manufacture, sell or otherwise exploit the artwork.
For example If a T-shirt was used to make a bandana or material cut up and used on other items of clothing, bags etc.
This seems lie a gray area and would grealt appreciate some assistance and clarity
Thanks in advance
