British cartoonist Stanley Chow has engaged lawyers after the Conservative Party used his caricature of Andy Burnham in campaign activities without his consent.1 The unauthorized artwork appeared on water bottles bearing the slogan "bottler Burnham," which party staff distributed to journalists during the Conservative Party conference weekend in early June.1 Chow first became aware of the infringement while watching news coverage on Sky News.1
Chow has written to the Conservative Party demanding an explanation but received no response.1 He stated: "This is copyright infringement—they have stolen my artwork for their own purposes."1 According to legal counsel Colin Bell, the case represents a clear violation of copyright law, entitling Chow to seek an injunction, cease-and-desist orders, removal of the material, financial damages, and a public apology.1
