Legal advice for using copyrighted material

Want to use them in their advertising. However, there are rules about how Disney characters can be used commercially. In this article, we will discuss intellectual property law in Russia and how it applies to Disney characters. Stay tuned for more information!
Legal Use of the Disney Characters
Intellectual property law provides for the enforcement of these rights through civil litigation and criminal penalties. Russia is no exception when it arrives at intellectual property protection: various types of legal protections are available in this country. For example, copyright law shields the expression of a statement, while trademark law protects the use of a symbol or name to identify a product or service.
Another necessary type of intellectual property is industrial design right, which protects the appearance of an object that has been industrially produced. In Russia, this protection is granted for ten years from the date of applying and can be stretched for another five years if necessary.
However, not everything is protected by intellectual property law. For instance, ideas are not covered by any IP protection because they have no physical embodiment–they’re just ideas. As such, it would be difficult for anyone to infringe upon someone else’s idea without using their creative expression first (which means that person might also be protected by copyright law).
As you can see, businesses must be cautious when using Disney characters to avoid copyright and trademark infringement. The best way to protect yourself from a lawsuit or other legal action is by obtaining permission from Disney before using their intellectual property rights.
So, how can you get approval from Disney
In most cases, it’s relatively easy. All you have to do is visit the Disney website and fill out an online form. The form will ask for details such as the type of product you’re using the character on, how you plan to use it, and where you plan to sell it. Disney will then review your submission and either approve or deny your request. If approved, you will be given a license that outlines the specific terms and conditions that must be followed when using the character.
