First of all, here's a tip. To save money, make a whole bookful of cartoon characters. That way, you'll have copyright access at a lower price than spending hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars on one character at a time. Be sure to copyright the script also. Copyrighting your creations should cost anywhere between $30-$100 more or less. Anders- P.S. By the way my penname is copyrighted.
Almost certainly, yes. The copyright laws protect the image of cartoon characters. When you sell it for profit you are stealing the right of the character's author to sell his own work.
Maybe some day if all the legal matters about copyright and movie rights are resolved.
The copyright will belong to the firm that payed for it's creation . Creator's Rights is still a legal issue that the courts rarely address . Look how Marvel treated Jack Kirby .

how much does the nabi cost
There is no statutory rate: rightsholders can charge as little or as much as they like.
It does not cost anything to receive copyright protection in most cases. For a watch, you would need to seek out a patent to protect your product, not copyright.
Protection is free and automatic.
no.
On the internet .You can send it to your desktop and save it considering copyright doesn't prevent it
You cannot patent a cartoon, although you might patent an ornamental product design based upon the cartoon. Cartoons are generally protected by copyright, not patents. Copyright is free and automatic, in most countries (including the USA), from the moment the first draft is created.
The current fee is 200P. Bear in mind, however, that registration is not required for protection.
Ideas cannot be protected by copyright, only the original expression of those ideas, fixed in a tangible form, can be.
Notify the copyright owner or publisher. They can decide what, if anything, they want to do to enforce their rights.
If the dolls are true likenesses of cartoon characters that are copyright, then you must have permission from the copyright owner to make money on the dolls.
If it is recognizable as a copyright or trademark-protected character, you would need permission from the owner.
Business names cannot be protected by copyright, but you can register it as a trademark for $375 on paper, $275 electronically.
