The funnier thing would be to create knock-off clothing and sell it hella' cheap, flooding the market with indistinguishable fakes.

- thinkingemote 6y agoWould they be trademarked and copyrighted? Even if they were themselves a fraud?
- londons_explore 6y agoI somehow doubt someone is going to sue you for violating those trademarks...
- rjmunro 6y agoDepends who owns the trademarks now. They would be an asset that whoever managed the bankruptcy would be able to sell on. That person may well want to use them to make some money back.
- poizan42 6y agoActually the Fyre Festival LLC owned trademark is dead: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5yn5.2.6 http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5... Seems two different companies have rushed to register it, XNO LLC and IMG Worldwide LLC - the XNO service mark application has been granted: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5yn5.4.2 http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5... Their trademark for use on merchandise is currently pending a submittal of a Statement of Use: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5yn5.4.3 http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:ad5...
- poizan42 6y ago- so seems like the tmsearch.uspto.gov links expires... Hopefully these keeps working: 1. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87357393&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87357393&caseType=SERIAL_... 2. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87981042&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87981042&caseType=SERIAL_... 3. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87877280&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87877280&caseType=SERIAL_...
- poizan42 6y agoTrademarks require active use, so seems the answer would be no. Copyright requires the logo/design of the merch to be sufficiently creative, a court would ultimately have to decide that, but I doubt it. But even if it is copyrighted, who owns the rights now? The U.S. Marshals Service?
