Possibly. If the logo is entirely incidental to the drawing you might be okay; if it is used as critique or commentary on Pepsi, it could be defensible under fair use. Most other uses would require a license.

Is McCormick vanilla extract bottle shape copyrighted?

No because the shape of a bottle doesn't qualify for copyright protection. It may however be trademarked.


How do you find copyright on perfume bottles?

If the bottle is protected by copyright, there may be a notification on the bottom, although notification is not required for protection. It is more likely that the bottle would be protected by trademark as trade dress (i.e. packaging), or even a design patent. Copyright protection is comparatively unlikely.

How do you find copyright information on Vess Soda bottle caps?

In all likelihood Vess bottle caps would not qualify for copyright protection. Copyright law protects original works of authorship including (but not limited to) literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. It can include works such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. They may, however, be registered as trademarks.


What do copyright and trade dress rights laws of US mean?

Copyright law gives the creator of a work the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so, for a limited time. Trade dress is more similar to trademark; it is the appearance or packaging of a product, which indicates to consumers its source. A Coke bottle, for example, would be trade dress.

How do i know if i used 2.6oz of 6.4 oz if i cant see in the bottle?

If you cannot see inside the bottle you can measure the amount of product you used by using a digital kitchen scale. Start by weighing the bottle before use and noting the weight. After using the product weigh the bottle again and subtract the original weight from the new weight. The difference between the two weights is the amount of product you used. For example if the bottle weighed 6.4 oz before use and 4.8 oz after use the difference is 1.6 oz meaning you used 2.6 oz of product.


Can a silhouette be infringement?

Sure. The most obvious would be making a copy of a silhouette someone else created. But taking the outline of something iconic would likely be considered creation of a derivative work, which is one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder. Trademarks can also be infringed this way: a silhouette of a Coke bottle, Donald Duck, or a Lego minifig would be instantly identifiable even in a single color and two dimensions.


Do you copyright or patent an energy drink?

Neither, probably. Copyright is completely inapplicable in this case. You could copyright any distinctive text on the bottle (provided it were long enough... for example, the text on Rolling Rock beer bottles is probably copyrightable, but you can't copyright a short phrase, like a name). but you can't copyright a physical substance like the energy drink itself. Patent is probably also inapplicable. In order for it to be patentable, you would have to demonstrate that it is a new idea, one that isn't obvious from "prior art". Since there are plenty of energy drinks around already, this is going to be essentially impossible. What you've got left is trademark protection. You can trademark the name of the product, the logo, and possibly the design of the bottle, if it's distinctive enough (the shape of the Coca-Cola "hobble skirt" bottles was trademarked for many years; I'm not sure if it still is or not). Trademark protection is complicated enough you should hire an attorney to do it. Any bozo can handle copyright registration, but trademarks are a different story.
