Copyright- You cannot use other company’s/businesses copyrighted images otherwise the company can sue you and make you stop using the logo.

The case can be taken to court and you can have a lot of money taken of off you for doing so.

This can create a chain reaction of problems as if you do approach a company about using their image then they might deny you the right to use it due to the fact you’ve used a copyrighted image before.

 

When a graphics designer creates a piece of work, they will often leave a trademark in the form of a logo or their signature, identifying the work as their own; this is useful in preventing the work from being plagiarised.

 

Intellectual property means that the idea belongs to the person that originally came up with it, if one person has an idea for a new product, and another hears the person with the originally idea and claims it for their own, they do not have the copyright.
