NFL Logo Copyright

What are the laws pertaining to selling nfl team logo gear? IE- if i buy a knockoff from china and sell it as a knockoff is it illegal?

**Mr. Knowitall** · 10-22-2009, 08:33 PM

Very much so. (But they'll nail you under trademark law, not copyright.)

If the seller claims the merchandise is licensed is it my responsibility? where can i find information regarding these laws?

As Sarah Palin might say, "You betcha".

is there somewhere that i can find more information about this?

Sure. The DOJ offers a nice summary on its cybercrime page.

I want to buy some nfl jerseys and resell them in a store. Where would be a good place to find information on how to legally do this?

Start here. Or purchase legitimate goods from a legitimate supplier.
