: Hey gang:

: Recently Lucasfilm's lawyers brought suit against a Canadian fella who makes replica Star Wars costumes...I guess they felt his work was an infringement on their intellectual property.

: Now, could the same happen with Indygear? I mean, I suppose since Indy's outfit is based on "real world" items, they'd be hard pressed to prove that they own the intellectual copyright to those items...

: BUT - they do own the overall appearance of an iconic figure, that a lot of us emulate around here. So, theoretically, could they not ask Wested, MBA or even Lee to cease production? I, for one, hope not.

: Let me put this hypothetical scenario forward...say Indy IV is made and someone, without Lucasfilm's permission, appears in Indygear as a promotional thing, could they not be sued?

: What do you guys think?
