    I was looking for some earbuds and thought LP had brought out a pair because the website I was browsing have copied Linkin Park's logo. It's basically the same but Lypertek have rotated it a little.

    Surely this constitutes a breach of copyright? If so is there a way we can get word to the guys so they can take action?

    Clearly LP's logo from ATS onwards turned 90 degrees. Probably an innocent mistake though.

    I would argue this is straight up theft

    LP's logo has always been Illuminati propaganda. I don't get why everyone's surprised more corporate businesses are exposing themselves.

    US trademark law only sees infringement if there can be substantial confusion between similar products and/or they're in the same market space. If there is no chance of consumers confusing products, no issue.

    If someone sued they would lose quickly and definitively because neither of these examples are a breach of their right to their logo. These are both tech companies so they're not competing in anywhere near the same marketplace as Linkin Park's music or merch.

    Try reaching out through their social media. Their Twitter maybe.
