I am actually studying the area of intellectual property and entertainment law and can answer your questions. Since I am pre-law, I can not practice, but do know quite a bit about IP and more specifically copyright/trademark law. Much of the United States copyright/trademark law is actually established through international treaties. In order to be a member of the UN a country must abide by all copyright laws, so this means that their companies can not infringe upon any registered copyright/trademark material. Even in another country there is still the possibility of causing confusion with the consumer market. Copyrighted and trademarked logos/titles/pictures do not have to have the copyright symbol anymore. Sometimes things are taken on accident, such as names of establishments. With the case of an actual picture being taken though it's a slam dunk case of infringement. The hurt company can even ask for all court fees to be paid in the end if the picture was taken maliciously on purpose. The lawyer fees before receiving any settlement are often a burden though. Of course the US has much better luck and compliance with some countries compared to others. Many Asian countries are notorious for blatant knock offs and bootlegged videos, but have recently at least attempted to crack down on the problem due to pressure from other countries. I believe the original post said that the infringer was in Australia? With properly educated lawyers on IP the IFC will no doubt prevail in this case, but there are many crappy IP lawyers out there that don't know anything and sue for the wrong reasons. Hopefully with this being such a black & white case it will be settled quickly, although it being international will make the process longer. Of course I am assuming that the IFC logo was the original (as in they didn't take the image from the public domain, such as clipart images on the internet) and that they are already registered and intend to use their logo. Many times the Library of Congress doesn't catch infringements because they have so many applicants and it is up to the rightful party to take legal action. Good luck! [Posted in FML issue 4422]
