This is purely a hypothetical question.
But let's say a large corporation or company was using a font family that was not free to use commercially and the font was published by a high-end font foundry.
More detail on font use: in their logo, stationary and across all printed and digital media.
What could actually happen?
Is there any online legal information that I could refer too?
On another note:
If the creative/publishing agency who created the brand on the behalf of the corporation/company, and they purchased the font with a licence. Do these usage rights then get passed onto the company which they created the brand for?
Or does every individual company need to have a licence to use the font family commercially?
Answer
In the fictional case that the font foundry would, in theory, take note of this abstract breach of copyright, they would, presumably, undertake legal action towards this assumed corporation.
Details of such suppositional legal action would possibly be influenced by the severity of the imagined case, as well as the theoretical nationalities of both the foundry and the offending corporation.
I suppose.
