Can I Sell Wooden Replica Bat’leths (klingon Swords From Star Trek) Without Paramount Coming After Me?
I sold my own handmade wooden bat’leths at a recent Star Trek convention put on by Creation Entertainment. I got this approved in advance by Creation Entertainment, but mostly was asking about if it’s ok to have a wooden replica weapon there, not asking about copyright infringement.
I ended up selling out and folks asked if I had an online store.
This brought up a few legal questions for the possibility of selling online and also future conventions:
— What are the chances of Paramount coming after me if I’m selling bat’leths online and my profits are less than $10K per year? (Probably would be less than $1K tbh)
— If they do notice me would they just send a cease and desist and I’d have to stop or would they sue me/something else?
— Would it matter at all if I changed the name of it, like called them “bat’lethz” or something, but still had the same shape and design that is featured in Star Trek?
— Was I lucky that Creation Entertainment let me sell these at the con already?
