Hence, trademark rights

Well, many of you may think that this is not the place to post this, I thought that some time ago, but come on. I’m a programmer, I make websites, and I haven’t attended any copyright courses yet. I received a client who has a logo, but he gave me a JPEG logo, in fact the printer did so by default, and also passed some files in CDR format, PDF. I had to convert this CDR to SVG, so I could edit it in my Inkscape. Now here comes the question. Since they designed the logo to have a white background and not to have a transparent background, I decided to edit this logo, now, if I edit this logo, could I be breaking any laws? I changed the background of the world that was transparent to white, to be able to give a contrast when inserting on the site, because the water was transparent and the earth with solid color.

To repeat, I’ll be breaking some rights law ?

  • I don’t think here is the place where you will get a good response, the site is mostly formed by programmers, who usually have no legal basis to give the answer. I suggest you look for someone with knowledge in the area

  • If the logo is from the customer, just ask the authorization for it to edit it. Simple like this.

  • And in the good, what you have is no problem no. The client asked the printer to make the logo for him and so it was done. Then he asked you to put her on the website. If you have to hit the logo to get it right on the site, no client in good conscience would complain about it, much less claiming to infringe copyright, after all the soon will be on his site for use by himself.

  • That’s why I put the phrase at the beginning, because I believe someone went through it, but still thank you all, you think I should remove the question ?

Interesting your concern. Your question escapes a little from the purpose of the site, because it is something about the Brazilian legislation. Anyway, I’ll give my opinion.

As the logo is from your client and you are providing a service for the same, I believe I would have no problems with copyright.

I’m not a lawyer and that’s the opinion of a mere programmer! :)

  • Yeah, I wouldn’t really have a copyright problem, but my concern was with the trademark registration, I don’t know if the board of trade or any of the agencies responsible for the registration would like to see edits made to the file, but it’s kind of like that. I had the opportunity to take a course on this, and a course recognized but I went soft. Thanks anyway. Think I should remove the question ?

    I think if you’re so concerned about this issue, you should find a lawyer for guidance. And I believe that you should keep the question, even if you run away from the purpose of the site. Because it can help someone in the future
