Q. If a company makes an agreement or offer to you for a specific product in an email, do they have to honor what it says?

October 14, 2024

A: A key factor would be if the employee who sent the email had the authority of the company to make binding decisions. If the employee held an executive title, such as Vice President of Sales, it is more likely than not that they had the authority to bind the company. Assuming the employee did have such authority, if the offer contained a significant mistake that was obvious and you should have reasonably noticed the mistake (e.g. $1 price but typical product price $100) then the company may argue the offer is invalid. However, the company could still be bound by the price offer if you reasonably relied on the offer. You will need to show you acted in good faith.

Q. Hello there,I have a question. Can a company use the word "MagSafe" for its own product?

January 24, 2023

A: It would depend on the type of products. You should expect to be sued if you use "MagSafe" to market goods such as computers, mobile phones, battery packs, electrical cords, etc. For any other goods/services, you should definitely hire an experienced attorney to conduct a thorough clearance search and to possibly apply for Federal TM/SM prior to marketing your products.

Q. Can I legally sell an image I took of a friends cow without their written consent or do I need a property release?

January 24, 2023

A: Yes, you can legally sell the photographs. The practical enforcement of your copyrights, however, is a bit more complex. Recording a collection of a work of photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office should provide you with a useful tool to swiftly remove infringing articles from major online U.S. marketplaces. Good Luck!
