Al,
I wasn't suggesting otherwise. and I understand the difference between Copywrite and Trademark vaguely (my unfair trades practices class was 9 years ago and it was at 8 AM so I was sleeping most of the time)
I do not know whether or not the Club has the right to use the picture. There appears to be a claim that the designer of the picture gave permission for its use but there is also a claim that the permission was limited. Obviously in an ideal world the permission would have been in writing.
But just as we don't want to confuse Trademark with Copywrite we don't want to make the mistake of suggesting that ownership of the Trademark overrides any questions of the copyrite.
If for example the Club does not have the copyright holders permission to use the picture, then the Club's Trademark does not give the Club the right to reprint the picture even in the Trademarked Logo.
