Possession of more then 12 oz in Colorado is a felony. 'Legally purchased'... is a stretch when the purchase results in illegal possession - even if sprinkled across no less than 120 store visits (for the 7.5 lbs)
I'm sure the lawyer he hired to do trademark clearance has a malpractice policy that is answerable for both of these mistakes.... Oh wait, Google and.or the USPTO site aren't lawyers?
Yes, funny that the letter refers to Katy Perry as an 'It'. I'd wager that is not a correct party identification, as there is undoubtedly one or more limited liability entities that she does business under.
I'd also be interested in whether the actual costume designer actually executed any form of assignment (of whatever rights) and in favor of whom?
Finally, since the model creator was unlikely present in person, there is always this: "This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL’s consent is prohibited.”
I'd file the dec action pro bono against It Perry & this GT Bozo...uhoh maybe they also represent Bozo...

Re: Re: Um...no.
7.5 lbs can't be legally purchased by a single person.
Um...no.

Wow
They must have an awful lot of signed copyright assignments on hand....
The Way This Story *Should* Have Ended.
How great would this story have been if the entire second statement read:
"APRIL FOOLS!"
A fun mess
