Copyright vs. Trademark
Image copyright and trademarks can be very confusing. You see a design online and think it's fine to use on your project. They're all over the internet, especially in Cricut Facebook groups. People give away SVG dumps and free SVGs that they don't actually have the rights to. You could be committing copyright or trademark infringement. So how do you know which designs and fonts are safe to use, and which ones are off limits? I'm here to help you learn!
Disclaimer! Please note that I am not a lawyer and this video should not be used in the place of legal advice. I tried to verify the facts to the best of my ability, but they are in no way meant to be a legal opinion and if you have an issue or question, consult an actual attorney.
Copyrights and Trademarks are not the same. They are so legally distinct they're managed by two different offices within the federal government.
Trademarks are handled by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, while copyrights are handled by the U.S. Copyright Office.
What Is A Copyright?
Copyright is a type of intellectual property, so something you thought of and made. In order to qualify for copyright protection, an original creative work must exist in tangible form. In other words, it must be written down or in a form you can physically touch. So if you create a unique design to put on a shirt, that design can be copyrighted.
Generally, copyrights protect creative or intellectual works, and trademarks apply to commercial names, phrases, and logos.
What can be Copyrighted?
A lot of things can be copyrighted including paintings, photographs, illustrations, musical compositions, sound recordings, computer programs, books, poems, blog posts, movies, architectural works, plays, and so much more! (www.copyright....)
Who Is A Copyright Owner?
Everyone is a copyright owner. Once you create an original work and fix it into something tangable, like taking a photograph, writing a poem or blog, or recording a new song, you are the author and the owner.
Things That Can't Be Copyrighted
1. Ideas, Methods, or Systems
2. Commonly Known Information
3. Fashion
4. Names, Titles, Short Phrases, or Expressions
While not protected by copyright, if it pertains to your business (for example, goods and services), it can be protected with a trademark.
Also exempt: Names, Titles, Short phrases or expressions, Product descriptions, Pseudonyms, Titles of works, Business names , Recipes
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect the use of a company's name and its product names, brand identity (like logos) and slogans. They protect words, names, symbols, or devices used in trade with goods or services.

Thank you for this video, my kids needed to hear it from someone besides their mother why they can't sell certain things. I also signed us up for Creative Fabrica, it's such a great deal for a year subscription💗
You're welcome. It's a harsh truth that a lot of people don't want to hear. I've stopped trying to correct people in groups because they generally get mad and don't care. But that's the law 🤷♀️
Thank you for doing the research and sharing with us. I had a coworker ask recently about buying grinch cups, I declined of course even after she offered to pay extra.
It's hard to pass up the sale but you did the right thing 😌
Very helpful video, thank you so much for the information. I'm a high school teacher and it is so hard to get kids to realize they can't just use things on the internet.
Glad it was helpful! It's hard to get adults to realize that, too!
Thank you because I don't know and I'm just beginning and want to know so I don't run into any of issues later on
You're welcome!
Honestly , go to law school. I am sure you have financial stability, but you would make a great lawyer and judge.
Thanks? Lmao
Thank you for this wealth of information! Some things I knew others I didn’t! I best resubscribe Creative Fabrica again! 😊
You're welcome! Use the link in my video description it'll save you a ton of money.
Thankyou so much, great video!
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for all the great info!
Happy to help!
I am wondering about the personal use of things though. If I find a design I like and make and wear it and keep it for myself, is that illegal?
Well if you make a Nike shirt for yourself, for example, technically that's illegal. But if nobody knows then who cares. But if you post on social media that you're doing that so everyone knows and they tell someone then you could get caught. Basically just don't brag about making counterfeit stuff.
But how do we know the images/fonts uploaded onto creative Fabrica by 3rd party sellers, wasn’t stolen? I have a membership but I’m so hesitant to use it because if the person who uploads images doesn’t have the rights to, then we still get in trouble if caught using it :/
So if you use the subscription, then cancel the subscription say a year later, is everything you downloaded still yours to use and the liscense is in tact? Or is it only good while you pay the subscription? thank you.
What if a person make ears on head bands ( you know the ones but call them something else and change colours and design slightly would that be ok I have heard that if you chànge a design up that's ok.But I really don't know
Thank you
You're welcome
The link for Creative Fabrica says it renews for $9 a month, but when you go to checkout, it says it renews for $19 per month. Is this an outdated offer?
No, the offer is still good! Try this link www.creativefabrica.com/promo/5303/0p163-FGHIJKLMNO/ref/237783
DID CRICUT STOP 🛑 PEOPLE FROM CUTTING COPYRIGHTS IMAGES OR TRADEMARKS
No people can cut whatever images they want. It's their responsibility to know the laws
