Unless explicitly stated otherwise, we are not affiliated, endorsed, sponsored by, or licensed by any current or former rights holders, manufacturers, or brand owners whose names, logos, or designs are represented in our replicas.
All trademarks, trade names, logos, and designs (“Brand Elements”) used on or in connection with these replica items remain the sole property of their respective owners. Our use of them is solely to provide faithful historical or aesthetic representation, not to mislead customers or imply endorsement, affiliation, or authenticity of origin.
UK Copyright & Fair Dealing
The UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides limited “fair dealing” exceptions under which copyrighted works may be reproduced without permission in certain circumstances (for example, criticism, review, research, private study, or reporting of current events). See Section 29 & Section 30, CDPA 1988. Those exceptions are restrictive and must satisfy that the copying is “fair” in each case. See also UK government guidance on permitted exceptions / fair dealing.
Additionally, since 2014, the CDPA was updated to explicitly allow reproduction for the purposes of parody, caricature or pastiche under fair dealing. See Section 30(1) CDPA 1988 which states that “fair dealing with a work for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche does not infringe copyright.”
UK Trade Marks & Passing Off
The Trade Marks Act 1994 grants registered trademark owners exclusive rights to use their marks in relation to particular goods or services. Use of identical or similar marks in trade for related goods may constitute infringement if there is a likelihood of confusion or association with the original brand. See Section 10, Trade Marks Act 1994 and Section 5, TMA 1994.
Where a mark is not registered, the common law tort of passing off may still provide protection. A claims under passing off require showing (1) goodwill or reputation in the mark, (2) misrepresentation by the defendant, and (3) damage to the claimant. See an overview of passing off principles at Forbes Solicitors – Passing Off Claims and UK Trade Mark Litigation Guide (passing off section).
