Here's a question a few out there might be wondering about:
I do not control my licensing; that is handled by distributors. (Myfonts, fonts.com, HypeforType, etc.) As you may know, these distributors do not provide a easily searchable list of who licensed what.
If I come across a prominent use of one of my fonts, how do would I go about authenticating that a license was purchased to use the font?
Most font related lawsuits have to do with uses - for example, a certain license is required, and the use was clearly infringing.
Would I ask all of my distributors to do a search of their records? How would this be effective, if, say, a generic LLC licensed the product?
Do you just have your lawyer demand the documentation through the legal process?
Thank you,
