Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) I really want to bring Versace into Identity But will it be allowed? I see there is Supreme but I'm pretty sure the actual head of Supreme in real life doesn't know about this aka leading into copyright lawsuit if found out. How can we bring Clothing brands from real life into Identity with out Asylum being sued cause of this. Will we have to alter some things with the brand for it being allowed into Identity like in GTA with car manufacturers?

Posted August 10, 2017 You can try all you want (non-offensive names) until Asylum gets a cease and desist order from said company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2017 Pull a Rockstar and just re brand the same company Like Versachi and just making little design differences and change the font a little Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I actually asked the Asylum team about this on stream. I've got the answer that you can create a company with whatever name you like, but if Asylum will get an e-mail about your company from a real company you've been taking the name of, they would have to shut down your company/change your company name.

That's right. The best way is to just be creative and create your own brand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So basically what I said. I just used the official terms. Edited August 11, 2017 by Genesai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2017 To actually confirm what Motown answered on stream. You are not allowed to use names that are copyrighted. They will see it in their database and remove them. The company could get seriously sued if the '' ingame '' property gets damaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked if I for example could make Adidas, which he confirmed you can. But if a real company notices that you've taken the name of a real company, which they don't like, Asylum will have to shut down the business or change the name. Plus, when the game finally gets released, they don't have time to sit back and just look in the database all the time, to be ready to delete any company that has taken their name from a real company, 'cause there's a lot of people who will take real company names. Neither can they make a filter which blocks a user from using specific words for company names, because that will cause a lot of trouble for users who doesn't takes a real company's name, but the filter blocks the name anyways because it's including a blocked word. So they have to watch them manually. Edited August 12, 2017 by MikaFromDenmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but you could still use the name. E.g. Ford Sportswear, or Nike's Food Distro. It would still have company names in there... But yeah, car companies are a no go, all the rest is allowed. Until they get that cease and desist order as I mentioned in the beginning. Which is the legal term for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
