Etsy lawyer Sarah Feingold announces the launch of the much-anticipated ‘Trademark Permissions Program’.

In the article of the Storque (the online magazine by Etsy) Sara explains the legal context of using the logo or name of Etsy in handmade products by creators and artists.

“I am always amazed by Etsy’s dedicated and creative community. Many sellers and buyers have expressed a personal connection to Etsy by using the word “Etsy,” its logo, or other Etsy Marks on products, in running a website, in hosting an event, and in creating promotional materials. This use may seem like a win/win situation: the member uses the Etsy name to promote their shop and all of Etsy benefits from this promotion. However, the name Etsy, and other Etsy graphics, logos, designs, page headers, button icons, scripts, and site feature names are registered trademarks or trademarks”
