If it’s China, you can’t do nothing. Also since you publicly posted your watch face it means you gave your permission to be used by others (people or company)
@Julian_H_Jharrvis Sadly - this happens all the time. Hopefully the Brand owner will go after them and teach them a lesson. We don’t support this watch. Who makes this? Is it No.1 ??
This is why I encourage all face designers to digitally “watermark” their work. Then if you have proof it is yours you can serve them a cease and desist under DMCA - if it is your original design.
However - if it is a Brand owned design (I think this is a SEVENFRIDAY design) you stand little to no chance. BUT - the brand owner can and probably will go after them.
@Mark_Marshall what?
@Mark_Marshall go to
@Julian_H_Jharrvis G+ site for the link. You can there one thanks write for it.
@francisco_javier_nav any more links to external vendors and it will result in a ban. It’s in the first post - in the rules.
@Cristea-Antoniu_Crac Contrary to popular belief, ALL images on the internet are copyrighted unless explicitly stated otherwise and many countries honor “International Copyright”.
@Russell_Hippert thanks mate - this is always a source of endless confusion. I think we will have to make a write up about it.
One of the main bug points is a case like this above. It is an homage to SevenFriday and so the copyright ownership is blurry. There are 2 issues now - first from @Julian_H_Jharrvis who did a great job here at producing his interpretation of the original design.
Secondly the Brand name themselves having their material used as bait to add value to a third party watch.
So - it is sticky and we could do with some real clarification around it. Bit of a job - but worth it I think…
If anyone wants to help - please raise your hand
@Pablo_Eleven_Pablo11 I can do a write up on the subject for you to use as a reference for the community. A list of keys points/questions that needs addressing put together by the mods and members in say a separate post would help.
@Russell_Hippert hey mate - that would be fantastic. Thanks - I will see what the team have got.
Excellent
@Julian_H_Jharrvis I think this explains everything. You donated the face to KingWear and it has been released into the wild. Once you donate a face to a manufacturer - it’s gone.
