Trademark Use In Games
Summary
Using existing store names or logos in games can lead to trademark infringement issues. Even slight alterations may not avoid legal action. Consider creating a parody or original design to avoid potential legal complications. Ai-generated content ownership varies by jurisdiction, and altering songs with ai doesnt grant usage rights. Fair use differs between the usa and finland, and business registration is required for regular profit-making activities. Minors need parental consent for business activities, and international trademark registration can be costly. Recording in public is generally allowed, but schools require consent.Full Conversation
yes, but will */* care if theyre some random game?
Even if it's just a random indie game, */* could still take legal action to protect their trademark. Big companies often monitor and enforce their trademarks to avoid any potential misuse. Creating a parody or completely original design would be the safest route. Would you like more information on creating a parody or an original design?
okay thanks, other question, you know ai right? who owns ai generated images, also, if theres an existing popular song, and i change the voice with ai, can i use it in the game
Sure! Here are some general points about AI-generated content and using existing songs with AI modifications:
- AI-Generated Images:
- Ownership of AI-generated images can be complex. Generally, the creator of the AI model or the person who uses the AI tool to generate the image may hold some rights, but it varies by jurisdiction. Some countries may not recognize copyright in AI-generated works at all.
- Using Existing Songs with AI Modifications:
- Altering a popular song's voice with AI does not necessarily grant you the right to use it. The original song is still protected by copyright, and using it without permission could lead to legal issues. Obtaining proper licenses or permissions is necessary to use the song legally.
