ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
We're working on an exhibit about toys and how they work, and a lot of
the fun is seeing familiar toys busted open with their workings exposed.
Has anyone done any research or had any experience on the legal
implications of this? With the toy manufacturer, that is, in a copyright
sort of way. If we have dn exhibit with the workings of a familiar hula-
dancing plush toy exposed, alongside his fully-assembled self, is this
something for which others have asked the manufacturer's permission?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
