Having watched another helmet cam shot from red bull/go pro with the go pro logo on the peak, I wondered how much the logo/type face etc would be protected.
I've seen loads of adverts online for t shirts etc that might rip off the logo of starbucks or other big brands, tweaking them to suit.
So, say a sticker or t shirt that says "Go Slo, Beer Hero ", in the same font.
Would that see a stern letter from the GoPro lawyers arrive?
I'm a tad confused is there a commercial element to this sticker?
No, it was a thought as I waited in the car for my son at gym.
Im not making one or selling one.
It depends how vociferously they defend their trademarks.
Lots of companies did come down on these shitty screen printed T+shirt knock offs. When it bears enough of a resemblance you may get a cease and dissist. But there are a lot off ifs involved.
As apple, apparently they've patented the rectangle.
First thing to sort out is your pseudo. I suggest "rockdropper" 69.9, as you risk getting sued by the people who patented the unequal quadrangle.

Any resemblance between this geometrical figure and a patented suspension system is entirely coincidental.
UK copyright law allows for "caricature, parody or pastiche" as fair dealing. So it probably wouldn't be a copyright infringement.
Though trademark laws are a separate thing. So it could still be a trademark infringement. Or could be defamation.
