Can you trademark any name?? For example I've heard that Hasbro lost their right to call a toy "Hot Rod". So they renamed him Hot Rodimus. But my point is "hot rod" is a proper term for customized cars right?! So can you really own a name/term like that?
Why hasn't anyone ever cracked down on bootleg toys and figures out of china? I collect anime figures. And it's starting to get to the point where it's hard to tell the difference.
Trade dress also is terminology for the exact files used in licensed packaging. Usually "Trade dress" refers to a lower element which would surround the bottom of the package and have information like the contents and any applicable warnings. Usually the rest of the package is covered by background branding. This is how licsensed goods retain a branded feel. A lot of fakey merch is put out using these files and flicking off layers in the photoshop files to change it a little.
wow! I'm majoring in marketing. We learned all about trademarks, but I've never even heard of trade dress. At least now if it comes up, I'll know what it is. Thanks :D
ive always wondered about the whole "similar look - different toy" thing. i see it alot in like .99 cent stores and anywhere uber cheap toys can be found. i didnt know the companies could be sued if the characters looked alike, it hought it was just if they were claiming to be the real thing. but im glad i know this now so i can have that lil extra somthing to point and laugh about LOL
The Spiderman is easily a tradedress infrigement, and only some die hard fans would notice it, but the logo is from a different franchise that the artwork is. They're both Spiderman, but the art is the movie franchise, while the logo is from the comic and cartoon franchise. -winkwink-
And some rep from Disney has probably hunted those guys down. D: Disney doesn't take crap from trade-anything infringers/
i love your videos. you're very smart and truly are the coolest toy guru I am aware of. keep up the great work - I'm glad you're getting so much publicity these days, being featured on youtube and stuff.
That must've been a real Deal Extreme that one....
Strap a Carrett turbocharger onto your Foyota truck, grab your WOMO steering wheel and drive over to china and you'll see that all our crap now comes from china.
I can't see her crown but I'm sure that's Aurora's too since Belle doesn't have a crown. Cinderella looks pretty good except she wears a bun, which they have, but added a ponytail? what? And I've never seen her wear a four leaf clover or palm tree or whatever that is necklace.
Basically they recoloured Aurora to be Belle, and... well, Cinderella is a bit of a Frankenstine. It's her body, but Belle's head (slightly modified, but not a whole lot).
That's official artwork they ripped off right there. You can find it very easily online.
OMG. PLEEEEEAAAASE do more princess stuff! They're my favorite!!!
FYI on the Dishy:
they mixed Belle and Aurora together...
That's Aurora's face and body and dress. (Sleeping Beauty) It has her necklace, her pointy collar cap sleeves, her hair style, and her face and hands. They changed her eye color to brown to look like Belle and the body of the dress to yellow (like Belle's ball gown). But not the sleeves! They're still pink!!! OMG
you know theres a spiderman dol that comes with a firefighter costume and a soccer one and a baseball one that i think is a mexican knock off i saw once.
Well you know what? i dont get that spiderman toy, the knock off one. because well. i think you have to plug it in, and well kids will plug it in on their own, then what they will do is put it in the water and ZAP! no more child? please dont hate comment -.-'
Every industry utilizes Graphic Design, and in some cases like this, the graphic designers make the product packaging look like the top competitor, but with little details defferentiating it from the other.
