madmongo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm not a lawyer, but I think you'll run into legal problems due to trademark violations if you use the actual names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockreload Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Most likely. But, i mean a simulated knock off brand would be closer than nothing at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Make up your own "brand" then, like they did with "Nuka-Cola". IANAL either, but this one is easy to research. Trademarks have to be vigorously enforced by the mark holder, or they lose the legal protection. (That's what happened to the "Aspirin" brand trade mark. It became a "generic mark".) That includes so called "knock offs", which is why they are illegal ... because they mislead the public. You do not want the legal hassle of having to respond to such a lawsuit, and that is why sites like the Nexus are so vigilant as well. Afraid the idea is a non-starter as originally intended. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Plenty of mods have used brand names from Playboy to Marlboro, it's very rare for a company to get cranky about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It may not be all that likely that a company will get cranky about it, but that doesn't make it legal and you can still get in trouble if anyone does happen to complain about it. On the other hand, as I understand it (and I'm not a lawyer), parodies are perfectly legal. Poking around on google, I see that some folks have used Adidogs to parody Adidas, and Yike to parody Nike.

Mktavish Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) I think the OP was asking someone to do the texture work ... comming up with the actual name wasn't really the issue. But then again ... this isn't GTA Edited December 7, 2016 by Mktavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
