Anyone done a Kuiu wrap on anything? Did you need permission?

[intunegp]

If you really wanna stick it to 'em, buy some China knockoff vinyl and do it anyway. Don't ask don't tell. The license agreement would need to be between the vinyl manufacturer and Kuiu, and the vinyl manufacturer is who they would go after if they decided to pursue legal action. You're just a dude who paid to have your boat wrapped in Kuiu camo, so if you can live with that you're in the clear.

Guy Fieri's trailer looks pretty cool.

Guy ownes part of a large investment company,

Pretty sure Guy or JJ can send a text to Kuiu and get a licensing agreement for a vinyl wrap company.

OP you just have to find a vinyl/wrap company that has purchased an actual license to use their camo, a better email would be asking for a list of approved wrap licensees

There is a reason they are called "SueYou" by people...

Their camo is proprietary property and one of the first to break away from the Realtree/mossoak licensing monopoly.. that’s a lot of risk.

With that said go print Optifade with out GL Wore’s permission…….

Unknown munitions got a a cease and desist from them for ceracoting guns in their patterns.

I’m sure, if I was Weatherby or any other MFG that had to spent $$$ on licensing and UM was doing it with out licensing, I’d sue the hell out of Kuiu

They could, and likely would send a cease & desist.

Ignoring that would be grounds for legal action.

I can see why they would want an agreement from actual companies and manufactures to use their patterns, but a one off guy painting his boat that pattern. Why not? Seems like it would be free advertising.

 

[LeftyWilbury]

seems like a bad idea to me. how would you find the boat after you park it in the woods?

 

[deerlick]

Not enough glitter in there camo pattern for a bass boat anyway

And does OP (or anyone) care that a foreign vinyl supplier gets sent a c&d for trademark violation? OP's boat is wrapped and the turd in Kuiu's punch bowl gets removed. Win/win.

 

[Alpine4x4]

Did you ask them to sponsor you? You should, they might even pay for the wrap. Shoot, screw that, I'm gonna ask them now, my Skeeter could use a nice Verde wrap

Another issue would be someone doing something illegal and their name is exposed to negative responses and shaming. It’s kind of a niche scenario though as most companies are paying pro athletes, celebrities, tv shows to stick their name all over the place.

I'm taking about OP getting one...

Maybe I'm wrong, but unless you're in the business of selling products wrapped with a camo pattern, I don't see how a company could legally stop an individual from doing this. If you were making money, that's different. But wrapping a boat for personal use would be much the same as tattooing camo sleeves on your arms.

Copyright violation doesn't require profit.

Unfortunate on the passing of the “total stud”. (Not sure if that is the appropriate term for someone who committed suicide?)

What a dogshit take

Once his boat is wrapped he has already ceased and desisted, right? It's not like he's talking about starting a business doing this for anyone who wants one. That also goes back to my don't ask don't tell comment. If he doesn't blast it around the internet and doxx himself there's a good chance word never makes it back to them that a dude in Utah has a Kuiu boat.

 

[Customweld]

tattooing camo sleeves on your arms.

That's brilliant! Permanent camo!

If your dog ate your Kuiu jacket and shot out a Kuiu turd, would you be in legal trouble for unapproved manufacturing? These are scary times.

 

[browning2480]

Just buy enough shirts to wrap it yourself. Call it the Peloton Pony

The dog would probably get in trouble for manufacturing a Sitka pattern.
