Can I sell Hollywood Movies Catchphrases in India


23-Apr-2023 (In Trademark & Copyright Law)
Hi There, Greetings of the day This is Ashish. I want to know the process of selling Hollywood movies merchandise online. Are they copyrighted or trademark protected. Let's say I want to sell a t-shirt which says "I am gonna make him an offer, he can't refuse" From the movie "The Godfather". Do I have to take permission for that or I can sell it right away? Also does all the movie lines copyright protected if not how to check which dialogue is copyright protected and which is not. Many Thanks In Advance Ashish
