Some of the fabric that you buy is indeed manufactured by Fabrique and they
are licensed. However, you are making and selling scrub caps and you would
have to be licensed to make and sell this product by the institutions whose
marks you are using. You are not. Additionally, much of the fabric that
you are using is not licensed and I would like to know the manufacturer
information for this fabric and where you are purchasing it.
Untrue, I purchased many licensed scrub shirts and pants from Hampton scrubs and also bedspreads from Jetwear 3-4 years ago.
I cut them up and make them into scrub hats. Both of these companies fabric were licensed. The First Circuit Court specifically rejected the copyright claim where La Infantil was being accused with unauthorized use of copyrighted fabric, saying that "bedding items manufactured with lawfully acquired, authentic fabric with copyrighted design were not infringing derivative works." The Court also said "The copyright owner's right to distribute the work is limited by the "First Sale" doctrine, which permits the owner of a legally acquired lawfully made copy of a work to sell that particular copy without the consent of the copyright holder". I am again requesting that you reinstate all my items, along with the NON college related items that you had pulled. I am enclosing a picture of one of the Jetwear bed skirts that I have cut up and used.
