Port of Tilbury-Police Constable

Basically, does anyone know anything about it?

My wife set up a business back in 2014, and comissioned a logo for her website and social media.

She has discovered yesterday that someone in South Africa has taken that logo and is using it on her Facebook business page, doing the same job as my wife.

My wife has sent a message to this page giving her 24 hours to stop using it now and in the future, and that she and her graphic designer are not happy.

How would she go about escalating this if needed? Facebook seem hard to contact to try and pull the page, is there anything else that can be done? I realise it may seem 'small potatoes', but she has worked extremely hard over the last few years to get where she is now, and is really annoyed someone has swaggered in and done this.

 

any help would be appreciated, thanks

 

Mods, I felt it fit here, but obviously move as you see fit!

International copyright law doesn't really exist. Whilst there are treaties to help harmonise the enforcing of copyrights, such as TTIP and TPP (which were widely condemned, partly because of this), it's a legal patchwork. For any real enforcement action, you'd need to abide by the law in the infringer's location, i.e. South Africa.

Yeah, title is probably poorly worded.

Cheers though

And... It would appear the matter is resolved!
