@_ThottiePebbles Best place to start is by checking if the Ts and C’s of your ticket and accommodations allow for this as well as the conditions thereof.

@kaitlinmonroe @Tay_Dlamini @RealLifeGold This speaks to the legal concept of “leaning on” as described earlier in this thread.

[The Creative Bar @thecreative_bar]

@kaitlinmonroe @Tay_Dlamini @RealLifeGold This is a classic example of the fine line between Imitation and inspiration.

What the law says is that the original creator/author has exclusive rights over the work.

Therefore, the question we could ask is : is Tanaya the original creator of lip jewelry?

@Tay_Dlamini

[The Creative Bar @thecreative_bar]

@RealLifeGold Doesn’t using the lip jewels to sell lipstick cause confusion in the marketplace 🤷🏾‍♀️. We think the lay woman could start associating the lip jewels with KKW Beauty thus leaning on LacebyTanaya’s products to sell lipstick.

@Tay_Dlamini @RealLifeGold @ladyzeem Types of unlawful competition

1. Passing off = one must prove that another party’s creation is a confusingly similar product which is causing confusion in the market place.

2. Leaning on = when one party leans on the reputation and/goodwill of another to sell their products.

[The Creative Bar @thecreative_bar]

@Tay_Dlamini @RealLifeGold @ladyzeem We wouldn’t use IP infringement as a defense for this matter. We would claim unlawful completion because the fact that you don’t have IP protection doesn’t mean your competitors can conduct business in an unfair manner.
