FAQ About The Role of Art Merchandising in Pop Culture
What is the difference between licensed merchandise and knockoffs in the art world?
Licensed merchandise is legally authorized by artists or their representatives and involves official agreements to reproduce artwork on consumer products. Such merchandise is often considered a legitimate extension of the artist's work. Knockoffs, on the other hand, are unauthorized reproductions or imitations that infringe on the artist's copyrights and intellectual property. Knockoffs can undermine the artist's brand and lead to legal disputes while depriving artists of potential income from their creations.
