A question concerning product / packaging infringement. If a retail product appears similar to another currently on the market is this considered infringement? No original artwork at stake here. Just a simple 2 component product in a simple plastic box. Example: A bar of soap in a unique color and shape in a plastic box. But......with a different scent.
well thats really cutting close. You`d better check on trademarks, copyrights and patents. I know aveda is not all that happy with Aveno they basically copied the aveda look bottles and all. However the product is not nearly the same, but external packaging nearly identical.
So you will have your own artwork then? So no similar logos?
Thanks for your input. The product is so simple it doesn`t have a logo. The competition packages in an acetate box with a paper insert in the bottom reflecting their company name as well as their product name. That`s it.
Still thinking...... A logo could help differentiate the product although it would have to be very small since 90% of the packaging is clear acetate box.
