Women’s Starbucks Inspired Tees Only $14.99
For a limited time only, head on over to Jane.com where you can score these super cute Women’s Starbucks Tees for only $14.99 (regularly $27.99).
These fun shirts are available in seven different colors in sizes X-Small through X-Large. They would look cute with a pair of jeans and sandals for a casual spring outfit.
Shipping is $3.99 for the first shirt and $1.99 for each additional shirt.
These are cute but my first thought was about copyright infringement of two major brands. I am surprised Maybelline and Starbucks lawyers haven’t had that shut down. If either company did not give permission then orders could be delayed or cancelled, if attorneys get involved.
I am not contacting either company, but just wanted to give a head’s up in case something does go as awry as often does with products like these
I looked for info regarding permission to use either logo or slogan and didn’t see anything
Im sure Hip2Save team wouldn’t like someone to make a profit with products using Hip2Save logo or slogan without H2S permission
I was thinking the exact same thing. I’ve taken general intellectual property and copyright law classes in law school, and I just thought, “Yikes, this doesn’t seem okay.”
Surely you’ve walked by one of those T shirt kiosks or stores with all the funny tshirts inspired by and mocking different brands. I’ve seen these for years and would think if there was something illegal about spoofing a logo, these places wouldn’t be in business.
I see your point. However, it is not a direct quote of Maybelline. The Starbucks logo is slightly different. (Belt and a necklace was added etc.) Is it different enough to fall under “new art”? *Copyright law requires that the logo to show “authorship,” meaning original elements that indicate a minimal level of creativity on the part of the designer. Both companies are getting some free exposure through the shirt design. I doubt they will care – since it is not negative attention. Just my two cents. 😉
Hip2Save: I would change your wording from:
Women’s Starbucks Tees Only $14.99
to Women’s Starbucks *Inspired* Tees Only $14.99
*as these tees are not actually from Starbucks. 🙂
Great suggestion Jen! Thanks so much! We have just updated the post!
Hi, yes, it’d probably be more of a trademark issue, rather than copyright!
This.
