Cap Badge Copyright
Would anyone be able to help me please, if the likeness of a cap badge is produced on an item of clothing for commercial use is there any copyright issues? Thanks for any help.

Yes. The MOD holds the copyright to all of its badges but does loan the rights to commercial supplies to use them.

Broadly speaking, anything under 125 years old from it's first date of issue would be under Crown Copyright.
But then again, if your reproducing items as fakes, would you even care that it violates one set of laws over another. Until recently, it was purely a civil matter, though changes to IP rules last year have put it slightly more in the realm of being a criminal matter, but it's still one of actually enforcing those rights or if the effort is worth the time and cost to pursue.

I wonder if this is why most of the repro AAC and GPR cap badges I see all have certain features that distinguish them from the real thing. Interesting thread
