Came across this company who had made some wall art of other clubs badges, so I asked if they could produce one for Wakefield. Made out of 2mm steel and powder coated finish. https://www.cdengineeringltd.co.uk/prod ... gby-signs/

I hope they have been approved by the club who I presume hold the license for the badge.

That's pretty good though

Looks like it's either lazer or water cut from a computer program

They won’t have permission and the badge is wrong anyway !!!

I’m not sure but as we are not a registered trademark they can use it. If you look on eBay you can get mugs with or have created with a Trinity logo and it’s not a club operation.

I’m not totally sure on this but I know registering a trademark is both difficult and expensive.

I suppose you could pursue the case in courts but pricy for little gain.

I think they will get away with it.

I think Super League own the rights actually.
It's why they stop people coming to the ground with big cameras unless you are registered. Image rights. I assume the logos are included.
Whether they would progress this issue is doubtful though.

Just looked on government website and Wakefield Trinity was registered as a trademark in July 2018 so the Club must have finally got sick of all and sundry making money out of its intellectual property

Wakefield Trinity might only be a small club but using logos for profit will get them in big trouble, we bought our house we live in now from someone who sold phone covers in markets one used to be over in Hull, we ended up with legal letters coming to our home wanting to know his where abouts and had bailiff call, turned out he had Manchester United and Guinness taking him to court and was later heavily fined think it was around £20k

Well that's pretty definitive.

Wow. I'm kinda on United side for that. Its stealing really, even if its only a logo, if it isn't yours to sell you shouldn't do it.

That’s fair enough, wonder why they don’t use the TM or R sign, always think that adds a bit of glamour.
