Just saw a thing about Minnesota’s flag contest and some joker suggested using California’s flag which I started overthinking about which leads us here. If Minnesota actually changed their state flag to California’s state flag, could California sue Minnesota? 🤔
My understanding is it depends on if there’s a certain level of creativity that went into elements of the design, versus being comprised only of plain geometric shapes, etc.

So, it’s possible California’s flag may qualify for copyright protection with the bear drawing alone, but idk.
