But you have to be able to prove it. And being prudent, it is always better to draw up a contract with the graphic designer that clearly specifies what he did and who is the author of the idea. Everything that comes out of a graphic designer's graphics program is a work. But it is not always a work within the meaning of the Copyright Act. For something to be considered a work within the meaning of this Act, it must be individual and original in nature. For example, if your logo is an inscription using a given typeface, without significant modifications, it is difficult to talk about something original and individual.
You can read more about this subject from a legal perspective on the very good blog naratunekkreatywnym- article . Below is an example of a logo that is difficult to call a work because it is just an inscription in a ready-made font: logo by courier pl Logo of the courier service Phone Number List Jakikurierem.pl I don't have the rights to the logo, what next? If you don't want to have unpleasant surprises like some of our clients did in the past, write a contract with the contractor. And if this is not possible, consider changing the logo in the near future, when the opportunity arises.
It's better to think about it in advance and approach the topic strategically than to be surprised by a notice to cease copyright infringement and receive an appropriately large financial claim. Such cases happen even to the largest ones, a good example of which was the claim of the authors of the sign and slogan of the Kukiz party. They also did not sign an agreement on the transfer of economic copyrights and now they have quite a problem.
