Lawyer claims banksy is trying to backdoor copyright with trademark case in Australia

Advertisement The lawyer for a British greeting card company trying to stop Banksy from trademarking two of his most famous artworks in Australia says the anonymous street artist is acting in bad faith by “trying to backdoor” the country’s copyright laws. Joel Masterson, from Brunswick legal firm By George Legal, said the legal stoush could end up being taught in law schools around Australia as a precedent that shows street artists can’t protect their work from being copied if they don’t want to reveal their identity – or perhaps, even if they do. Banksy’s “flower bomber” in action.

Banksy s identity could be revealed in upcoming court battle

At the centre of it are his most famous works, including Girl With A Balloon, the print that sold for almost A$2 million at a Sotheby s auction and was then instantly shredded in front of the stunned gathering. Banksy has applied for trademarks for that picture and another of his famous works, The Flower Bomber, in Australia. But a UK card company called Full Colour Black that uses Banksy images is taking legal action. The company s trademark lawyer, Aaron Wood, has told A Current Affair it has already won a similar case in the European Union Court and will make the same case in Australia.
