I wouldn't be using the entire paper label from a used beer bottle that has been discarded. Portions of a trademarked logo or word maybe visible on some pieces but not others. It is all based on what I can and cannot use from the beer bottle paper label that is not damaged. I am unable to find... View More

I am getting into the baby teether and pacifier clip business and every body is throwing around cease and desist letters like candy on color combos and claiming they have the rights to them so I would like to confirm that
