Hi there,

Do I need to get any commercial agreement with somebody if I want to sell canvas with Muhammad Ali or other "known personalities" or other known things such as monopoly?

I'm not sure if I can post links here but here's an example: https://ikonick.com/products/muhammad-ali-keep-going

For the Muhammed Ali case, you have to check this,

Depending on the country that you live in.

Copyrights and trademarks expire.

Lots of copyright expired content being used, but usually not profitably since anyone else can use it too.

It depends if the licence has expired or not for you being able to get sued or not and if you leave in the right country then you can sometimes more less never be able to get sued such as if you live in China you getting sued be more less impossible to happen.

I still want to test this product in my country. This year I've seen a lot of people making content about entrepreneurship in general so I see it as a trend with a lot of people that want to become an entrepreneur.

There are some brands in my country that sell motivational canvas but they're a general brand with all kinds of canvas and I think I can make it better with a narrow audience + that I have a small audience of 30k people so they're good for a kickstart.
