Is it legal to use a vehicle indicator light as a logo?
<p>In my protect, I want to use a recognized vehicle indicator light as a logo.  What is the legality of using the icon, namely the check engine light, as a logo?  I do not know if some form of copyright protects this icon.</p>

<p>I reside in the US if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>The logo is an artistic work and someone owns the copyright. It was created within the last 70 years so copyright cannot have expired.</p>

<p>You are allowed to use it in accordance with the terms of any licence that the owner has granted or if your use meets <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use" rel="nofollow">fair use</a> criteria.</p>
