Scots outraged over restricted tartan

[Barb T]

I have an Apollo 12 kilt which was designed by Houston Kilt makers in Paisley and with help from the astronauts ! he designed the Batman and Superman Tartans !

So, am I missing something? When I search the Scottish Register of Tartans (https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/index.aspx), neither of these tartans is in the Register. Ditto the "Batman tartan" Closest thing alphabetically is the Badminton World Federation. "Superman Tartan" isn't in the Register, either.

That's because the 'designer' didn't have the authority of the copyright holder to register products in X or Y name.

That's probibily because he has not registered these tartans the Batman and Superman tartan is a bit of fun and he would need to get permission from DC comics if he was going to produce them .

I don’t think the Apollo 12 Tartan is registered either but consulting the surviving astronauts Dick Gordon and Al Bean it has elements of there tartans in it also the Aberdeen tartan where Dick Gordon had ancestors .
