I am not now nor have I ever been an attorney, but..........the designs
discussed thus far are not a problem. The photo of the Camospit is a part
of an ad that is ...how old? I'm thinking the entire add was never
copyrighted (much less the Camospit exclusivley) and if it was, there is
probably a statute of limitations. Besides who would bring suit and to what
purpose? I think we are on pretty safe ground here.
