So here's something I notice while doing my research on the directory. I stopped off at Poserworld and I know that Steve and Allen are both from the UK ( I think).And I've always thought that it was Steve that did the modeling, and Allen did the texturing. I'm pretty sure now that it's the other way around though. Anyway, I've always thought they did really good work. In fact, from what I've seen, it's gotten better over the years. But what I happened to notice were a few models that had pretty accurate trademarking and branding on them. This struck me as odd considering the way so many of the props I see like here at Renderosity or at DAZ or elsewhere usually have something visually off about them. But theirs are pretty accurate. For example this model of a jar of baby food is from Poserworld.
It's an excellent likeness, but I know here in the US for example, I think DAZ and Rendo are afraid of being sued if they sold something like that without that company's persission, I think. So my question is what are the laws on trademarking when it comes to 3d objects, and are they the same or different in the UK and US?
