Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. ("Build-A-Bear") operates Build-A-Bear Workshop retail stores, widely known to the public as "BUILD-A-BEAR", at premier shopping malls across the United States and Canada, providing a variety of retail services and products, particularly retail services featuring "make your own" stuffed and plush toy animals and accessories. We also sell our goods through the world via internet sales at buildabear.com. Build-A-Bear owns intellectual property rights in its name, logo and other items associated with its business.Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How can I tell if an item is a Build-A-Bear item?
A. All Build-A-Bear clothing and stuffed animals have two distinctive labels sewn into the items: "Heart and Paw" tag appears on all clothing and stuffed animals. "Stuffed With Love" tag appears on stuffed animals; "Stitched With Love" tag appears on all clothing items.
Q. Why was my auction suspended?
A. If your auction was terminated in response to a request from Build-A-Bear, it means that the item you were selling or the listing itself infringed an intellectual property right owned by Build-A-Bear.
Q. Is there an easy way to identify infringing Build-A-Bear products?
A. Sometimes a seller will use the terms "just like build a bear" or "similar to build a bear". The unauthorized Build-A-Bear products most frequently sold on eBay include craft or home-made items, toy clothing, and bear-making kits not sold by Build-A-Bear Workshop.
Q. Why hasn't Build-A-Bear suspended all auctions selling infringing products?
A. Build-A-Bear vigorously enforces its intellectual property rights. It is possible some infringing auctions escape Build-A-Bear's attention. The fact that others may be selling products that infringe Build-A-Bear's intellectual property rights does not give others the right to do so, nor does it prevent Build-A-Bear from ending those auctions about which it does become aware. In many instances, Build-A-Bear chooses to send a letter notifying the seller of the infringement and requesting they no longer use the Build-A-Bear name or logo to sell items other than Build-A-Bear product.
Q. Why does Build-A-Bear care about small sellers on eBay?
A. Build-A-Bear works hard to perserve the integrity of its name and its copyrights, trademarks and logos. The auction of infringing merchandise, which is often not of the same quality of a Build-A-Bear product, damages Build-a-Bear's reputation and leads to complaints from consumers and internet users about this poor quality. Consumers may attribute to Build-A-Bear the inferior quality of unauthorized products purchased over eBay. It damages the good will associated with Build-A-Bear and its products.
Q. Why can't I sell craft items that use Build-A-Bear intellectual property?
A. Craft items such as paper piecing items, using the Build-A-Bear name, logo or other copyrighted or trademarked works, listed for sale on eBay in which the user is seeking a commercial benefit, is infringement.
Q. Can I sell unauthorized product if I warn buyers that the product isn't real?
A. No. Even if you are not deceiving a buyer, a later purchaser might be deceived. Even if the infringing product is not resold, the product itself communicates a wrong impression about the quality and characteristics of Build-A-Bear merchandise.
Q. Can I use Build-A-Bear trademarks or trade name to make my listing more appealing?
A. No. The use of trademarks, logos, and trade names owned by Build-A-Bear may wrongly imply that your listing is authorized, sponsored or approved by Build-A-Bear and it may dilute the value of those intellectual property rights, in violation of both state and federal law. The use of trademarks as keywords to drive traffic to your listing may violate trademark laws as well as eBay's own policy.
