If I purchase a digital file from a shop online that says I have the right to use for personal or to sell goods is that okay?
Hello Jessica,
- Even if a file is purchased online, if it contains copyrighted material (like the Texas Ranger T), using it could still be copyright infringement.
- Always ensure the seller has the rights to sell the copyrighted material.
- When in doubt, consult a copyright attorney.

How I do know if they have the rights? The T does have a small TM that would be stitched T the bottom
Hello Jessica,
- If a design has a ™ symbol, it indicates a trademark claim.
- You can verify rights by asking the seller for documentation proving they have the rights to resell the design.
- Alternatively, you can check the US Patent and Trademark Office's database for registered trademarks.
