Hi, They must get authorization, and if you put any copyright protected material on any item, they must pay royalties to the company they are using the branding of. So, to answer your question, they must present the proper documentation to you, to print this. If you get the authorization, then you can use it not just for this company that is requesting it, but for any company. Then you must pay the royalties and you must get authorization for each and every product you want to include the brand name on. In order to do this, you must contact the branded company themselves. (i.e. if it was Sony, you would have to contact Sony. Then you would have to come up with a proposal for them about the products you have. And if they already sell products like these, you would have to sign over rights of your product to them and you would just be a manufacturer and if you played your cards right, they would pay you a royalty for the "design". If they do not sell products like these, i.e. T-shirts instead of electronics, their lawyers would right up a legal document which you would then have to sign to pay a royalty to the company for each individual item you sold.) If you are not a major corporation outside of the electonics world, this is just not worth it! That is why most just make sure to stay outside of the copyright infringement laws and make a similar, but not too similar, or a "compatible" product. (But when making any product, you still must be careful to follow the copyright guidelines.) Being in litigation with a mega corporation, is not fun. You will probably lose everything professionally and personally if you do.

there is a teach!
