I have lots of bells. Many have very similar handles. So do shaving brushes. Some handles look very much like another. I was looking at a web site the other day where I saw a manufacturer offering a wide variety of handles many of which looked very much like typical Rooney, Simpsons or Plisson styles and many others. Many are fairly typical shapes.
So is there any kind of copyright which governs the shape of the handles on any product? How wary do custom brush makers have to be? Is a new manufacturer obliged to avoid shapes already in use?
I might have to think twice next time I have a bell made if there is an issue here.
