I am a vinyl graphics manufacturer, and my main business is decals for vehicles, which include some logos of trademarks, like: Harley-Davidson, FOX Racing etc.
I recently noticed that some LAWSUITS AND LEGAL THREATS have been made by SCAB LAWYERS AND PRIVATE DETECTIVES, telling us that we
can not use “their” copyrighted logos.
How true is this? I mean we are not counterfeiting their products, they are just stickers used by Product Fans and as a matter of fact it is FREE ADVERTISING for the Brand.
Is there any law that protect us somehow in this matter?

There are laws that protect “intellectual property.” If a person or company creates a logo and they trademark it, nobody can use that log except them and people that they give permission to.
There is not law that protects you if you choose to steal their logo. You cannot use what they have created and trademarked unless you get permission from them.
Sorry, that’s the way that the law is. It protects personal property. If you create something very popular, you wouldn’t want someone stealing your idea either.
