I want to make mugs with Elvis on do i need copywright permission?

i am only a sole person could not afford big bucks for copy right would they accept part of my profit.

Answers:
Elvis Presley enterprises have virtually sewn up the market but as long as you put unofficial on the mugs then i believe you will be ok. might be worth getting advise from a solicitor or visiting www.elvis.com for advise.
yes you do. and chances are whoever runs Graceland right now probably will not allow you to do this to begin with.

sorry but if you have an idea try checking with Graceland and see what they say.
Not if its for your own personal home use. Only if you're using it to make money! Go ahead darling
Elvis Presley Enterprises http://www.elvis.com/licensing/. is very active and aggressive in protecting their trademarks and copyrights. I suggest you read about their licensing information and what you can do (and not do) with Elvis' image

Contact them at

If you are thinking of profiting from your mugs, which I assume from you saying you're only a sole person (or sole proprietor), it is better to get clearance BEFORE you receive a cease and desist order

You may make mugs with Elvis on, but you'd have to dig him up first.
