Hi everyone,
I'm trying to kickstart an inspirational book. It contains cartoon caricatures of inspirational people (sometimes celebrities) drawn by me, as well as short blurbs containing a few facts about their lives.
An example of a blurb: Kanye West is an American hip hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer, fashion designer, and entrepreneur. He has sold over 32,000,000 records. He had his first official music production credit at age 19, and released his first album at age 27.
I also want to put the information and caricatures on greeting cards.
What legal steps should I take to protect myself beforehand under intellectual property law? What are the possible legal ramifications of releasing and selling stuff like this?
Thanks for any help
