Formula 1 (F1) could soon be embroiled in a legal dispute after it was discovered its new logo bears a resemblance to that of a flight sock and tights brand.
The new F1 logo was revealed in November last year, and designed by advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy.

Employee status significantly affects copyright ownership. If a literary, dramatic, musical, artistic work, or film is created by an employee in the course of their employment, the copyright automatically belongs to the employer, unless there is an agreement stating otherwise. This rule applies only to employees working under a “contract of service” and does not extend to independent contractors or individuals loosely described as being “employed to produce the work.”
For example:
- An architect employed to design a house retains copyright in their design, but an architectural draughtsman working for a salary transfers copyright ownership to their employer.
- If an employee creates a work outside their job duties or during their spare time (e.g., a translation done for extra payment), the copyright may belong to the employee, as seen in Byrne v Statist (1914).
The phrase “in the course of his employment” can be complex and has led to litigation, but generally, it means the employee was hired to produce the work as part of their job duties.
working on the assignment
I have decided for the project my subject to be a business for custom business cards. I have been thinking for this actually couple of years now – I just haven’t had the time to set down, make a business plan and bring the idea to life.
I start doing some research:
this company can print and ship the cards – but I am thinking that maybe I can do that too – I will design them and also ship them
