Similarly, apart from the aforementioned images, Jitu also recommends that everyone take a look at other works on the brand’s official website to avoid unintentional infringement: https://markgemmell.com/prints

These are the three new brands recently represented by Keith Law Firm, which involve many copyrighted works. Sellers must carefully check for any potential infringements and take prompt action if necessary.

Key point:

There are no limits to copyright infringement. Once discovered, any products that infringe on copyright are at risk. Additionally, the U.S. Copyright Office website does not display specific images, which can lead to unintentional infringement. Therefore, Jitu recommends that everyone use their own original works and register their copyrights in a timely manner.

If an original work has not been registered for copyright, it is important to keep the design drafts, earliest publication records, and other evidence of creation with time stamps in order to more quickly and effectively resolve any infringement disputes that may arise.
