That contradicts the first result from google: https://www.legalteamusa.net/can-you-use-a-brand-product-in-movie-without-permission/ https://www.legalteamusa.net/can-you-use-a-brand-product-in-...
(And the Louis Vuitton lawsuit mentioned in the above article was later dismissed so Warner Bros didn't need their permission: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/louis-vuitton-hangover-2-lawsuit-338650/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/lou...)
Also, there was another recent article I can't find at the moment that talked about brands that appeared in movies/tv that the companies didn't know about ahead of time because the producers never contacted them. The companies didn't care because they liked the free publicity.
- paxys 5y agoThe citation link in that line itself is about stuff like music licenses and doesn't mention props at all. Getting clearance from the company is more for mutual benefit than a legal requirement. Why not get some money or at least the equipment for free if you can?
