How Do I Get Permission To Sell Disney Products?

Right of Resale. Copyright and trademark law says that you can’t make Disney items without a license. However, buying items, then reselling them is legal under the first-sale doctrine – you don’t need anyone’s permission.

If you get your Disney merchandise from an authorized dealer (wholesale or otherwise) you don’t need a merchandising license from Disney to sell it. Of course Disney items sold on the secondary market don’t require licensing either.

You may receive permission from Disney by email or mail. If you or your company wants to use Disney characters on a long-term basis, Disney might require a licensing agreement, which involves the payment for the rights to use the characters. Disney can also decline to give permission for the use of its characters.

What is the intake form for Disney?

Disney’s intake form will direct you to DecoPac, the licensed company. Set up an account with them and if you want, say, an image from “Frozen,” you pay for the right to use it. The intake-form links on Disney’s licensing website can steer you to some of the licensees.

Disney has the right to license the characters in its various movies, TV shows and cartoons, or to not license them. As far as most businesses are concerned, Disney’s going with “not.”

What you can’t do is call yourself a Disney store, or do anything that implies you’re an authorized Disney dealer.

Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland and Beauty and the Beast were around long before Walt Disney was born. You have the right to use them, and you don’t need a Disney license to do it. You cannot, however, use the Disney versions; for instance, your Snow White shouldn’t wear the same outfit as Disney’s Snow White.
