Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
In the early 1970s, particularly in the wake of the Trade Descriptions Act, passed in 1968, football clubs and governing bodies became concerned about the misuse of club badges, particularly by companies that produced souvenirs. The clubs were not able to protect or license the use of their badges since, in most cases, they were not registered.
