If you have had artwork unknowingly stolen and posted on redbubble, here’s what you can do:

This webpage goes into further depth, but basically you need to send a Notice and Takedown Report to redbubble staff. 

In the report you’ll need

A physical/digital signature of the person who authorised this action on behalf of the owner (more important for IP’s like Marvel, LOL, etc) 

A description of the claimed infringement

A link to the infringing material on redbubble

Your personal info

A statement saying you did not authorize the use of your art

And a statement (under penalty of perjury if found incorrect) that the info you gave them is accurate, and that your authorized on behalf of the owner of the rights involved (yourself) 

Before submitting a report make sure to read the request all the way through!

Best of Luck!

Intellectual Property (IP) Challenges Faced in the Digital Economy

In the present emerging digital economy, innovators keep coming up with new ideas for the manufacturing sector with the potential to change

In the present emerging digital economy, innovators keep coming up with new ideas for the manufacturing sector with the potential to change and evolve the already existing ways of working and discover new ones. The issue that the manufacturers in different industries face is not that today’s technology has transformed and become exceedingly complicated. Instead, it is they may not own the exclusive rights to the Intellectual Property (IP) assets that such technologies are built upon usually. The fundamental issue is that the power base of the manufacturers is built upon the traditional business models and ideas, which are at extreme risk of becoming outdated and diminished with time. To be specific, many firms and corporations across the globe have built enormous value into their IP portfolios for such traditional models and ideas, which are in danger today of being replaced by disruptive new approaches. So, let us now make ourselves aware of the different challenges manufacturing firms face around IP in the digital economy and ways of overcoming them.

Safeguarding & Exploiting the Value of Data

There is an increasing value in the massive volumes of data accumulated over time in a company or firm. Other than product sales data, component prices, customer details & records, market statistics, or supply chain info, a company owns commercially sensitive and confidential electronic pieces of information such as CAD drawings. Such data put forward risks related to IP based on the potential breaches of cyber security. In particular, info in the form of proprietary cloud-based algorithms and large-scale training data repositories collected over time through the Internet of Things (IoT) devices hold immense value. Furthermore, AI-based algorithms increase in value as they collect and use training data for enhancing their accuracy and precision. When it comes to a digital economy, these proprietary and extensively-trained AI algorithms can be increasingly valuable and contribute exceptionally to a significant share of a firm’s value.

Therefore, a company or a firm must put in a genuine effort to safeguard and exploit the value of its data. In times past, IP Protection was primarily based on retaining the knowledge possessed by people within a team by using mechanisms like contracts and agreements to prevent employees from leaving the company and joining the competitors in the market. Although this factor holds today as well, the ultimate focus is now gradually shifting more towards cyber security for data protection.

Moreover, to boost the value derived from data, a company may find it pretty attractive to license its data. In such a scenario, digital rights management becomes a critical aspect. Companies may opt for a conservative approach, such as working restrictively with fewer parties within their supply chain or ecosystem, or an expansive approach, such as licensing data to the competitors. Digital ledger technologies such as blockchain can play a crucial role in safeguarding and commercializing data and IP assets.

Having Proper IP Portfolios In Place

It is imperative to understand the utmost importance of having proper IP portfolios in place. In any given sector, a company becomes successful only if it understands how to create large and strategically-driven IP portfolios focusing on several relevant, emerging, and converging technologies. Additionally, companies need to possess or have access to complementary skills and knowledge concerning discovering and developing favorable technologies to keep out the competitors. If new entrants in the industry can do this successfully, they can gain a competitive advantage against the big companies that may find it arduous, if not impossible, to catch up and close the gap.

Licensing In & Licensing Out IP Assets As Per Needs & Opportunities

Considering the complex IP landscape of the digital economy with IP ownership distributed across multiple companies, it can be tough for companies to own all the IP assets required for manufacturing intelligent devices. Consequently, companies are needed to focus on the best possible ways of acquiring the usage rights from different IP owners in the industry. In most instances, they will be required to enter licensing-in contracts for achieving compliance before product launch and avoiding IP Infringement.

On the other side, the proprietary technology of one manufacturing company might be of a certain value to another company that is willing to pay for accessing such technology. However, it is imperative to note that entering a licensing-out agreement requires specific and scarce skills and capabilities, which the licensor would need to invest in if it wishes to pursue such an opportunity.

Protection of Trade Secrets

Presently, the legislation in different nations is tightening its policies, rules, and system, particularly around important proprietary company knowledge typically referred to as trade secret, to make them more efficient. Trade secrets can include well-trained AI algorithms as well. It requires firms to identify their most valuable know-how/data (trade secrets) and treat, safeguard, and enforce such info separately from their generic data like customer records.

Understanding the Meaning of Free Software

Many manufacturing companies globally come up with software components built into digital products internally. However, on the other hand, some firms may also utilize the already existing open and free software belonging to widely recognized development platforms such as GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, to name a few. In such a situation, what may not be pretty clear right away could be the total cost of utilizing such open-source software. Quite often, the use of such software is free only in some specific circumstances; for instance, a user may be required to make his software developed on the open-source component freely available to the entire community. Therefore, manufacturing companies must have an adequate understanding of the requirements, limitations, and complexities of different licensing agreements for compliance reasons.

If you think IP infringement is bad in the Sims community, check out a few fandoms on Redbubble bringing in cash for copy pasting stills from games or movies/shows onto pillows (I only checked the FIRST page of pillows)

Skyrim Pillow The Office (US), Dwight Shrute pillow  (eh? A collage of stills?) Disney’s Stitch pillow People see stuff like that and think “If they can do it with physical items, it’s less bad if I do it with digital items.” Fallacious, but that tends to be the reasoning nonetheless.

What to Do if You Suspect IP Infringement

For more than 30 years, William Bryan Farney has been litigating high-stakes patent disputes on behalf of companies in various industries. A partner at Farney PC, William Bryan Farney and his team handle patent and intellectual property (IP) disputes at all levels, from the US Supreme Court to district and appellate courts. IP helps businesses establish their brand and gain a profit from their efforts, which is why protecting yourself from IP fraud and theft is so important. This property is intangible and may be a patent, trade secret, copyright, or trademark that is being used unfairly. Due to the intangible nature of IPs, proving their theft can be difficult. However, if you believe your IP rights are being infringed upon, it’s essential that you go through the necessary steps to prove the infringement has occured. Typically, this involves hiring a legal professional quickly who can enforce your rights and recoup lost business opportunities or profits that have resulted from the infringement. Also, it involves documenting any suspected infringement as soon as you notice it. Collect samples, take pictures, or collect online screenshots as proof for potential legal action since it helps your lawyer develop a case. Further, take note of who has had access to your IP to figure out how the infringement occurred and who is a suspect. However, be aware that infringement of patents or trademarks can occur even if the infringer was not aware of the patent or trademark being infringed. You can also try to correct the situation without court involvement. This includes sending a cease-and-desist letter to the infringer, or a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice for online copyright infringement. If the infringement continues, you may file a lawsuit to correct the issue and secure an injunction and damages.
