"It's against the law to make things that copy trade marks"

You commit an offence if you make something that is designed to copy a registered trade mark or a sign that looks like a trade mark. This is illegal if you intend to use it, or if someone else uses it, to break the law. The specific laws this refers to are section 120 and section 121. These laws are about using trade marks in ways that are not allowed.
