Dear Ms. Dudnikov,

Please be advised that we will be sending you a thorough response by certified mail in the coming days. However, I did briefly want to respond to your e-mail. The Tissue Box Covers you were selling on ebay use protected Major League Baseball-related trademarks without authorization. Therefore, they create a likelihood of consumer confusion and suggest some type of sponsorship or endorsement by Major League Baseball Properties in violation of trademark law. Furthermore, the Tissue Box Covers are derivative works based upon a preexisting Major League Baseball-related copyright-protected work in violation of copyright law.

If you have any additional questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
