Can an customised open source prject be protected by IP law
<p>My designer created a logo for me using an open source design (with slight change). I wasn't aware of it uptill I visited colombia and saw a merchant selling T-shirt with the same design. </p>

<p>Now I want to know if I can get this logo registered as as a Trade Mark?</p>

<p>No</p>

<p>One of the criteria for registering a trade mark is that it be original. If someone has used it before you it cannot be registered.</p>
