PAW Patrol, owned by Spin Master Entertainment, enforces trademarks on all character names, the PAW Patrol logo, and pup designs. The hugely popular children's brand is actively monitored on Etsy.
What You Can Do
- ✓ Sell authentic licensed PAW Patrol merchandise you legally purchased
- ✓ Use "PAW Patrol" in tags only when selling genuine licensed products
- ✓ Create original character designs that are not substantially similar
- ✓ Sell supplies (e.g., fabric) that happen to be officially licensed
What You Cannot Do
- ✗ Reproduce PAW Patrol character designs, silhouettes, or catchphrases on products
- ✗ Use PAW Patrol names or imagery in listing titles, tags, or photos without a license
- ✗ Sell fan art or "inspired by" items that feature recognizable PAW Patrol elements
- ✗ Imply any official license, sponsorship, or partnership with PAW Patrol rights holders
Safe Alternatives
