A lawyer representing Ben Carson, a Republican candidate for president, has claimed that the slew of over 1,500 goods sold on CafePress bearing his name and likeness are illegal.
In a September 10 e-mail to CafePress, Clyde Vanel demanded all “unauthorized” products be removed—claiming that such materials were in violation of a host of laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Lanham Act, Federal Trademark Infringement, and Federal Copyright Infringement, among other alleged violations of Carson’s privacy.
