Default Re: Battery scans - copyright issues

Many thanks to all for the helpful suggestions.

The idea is to display replicas of obsolete Ever Ready batteries, some of which were made in nearby Wolverhampton. The point is that photographs of the display could well appear al a future date in guide books and other publications sold by the Museum for profit, or even in commercial films shot on the premises, hence the need to avoid infringing any copyrights.

I will advise the Museum to try to contact Eveready/Energizer through official channels. I can't see why permission would be refused; we are intending to showcase the products of a once-famous British industry in a historical context.
