If I have a photograph of an individual who is wearing Oakley sunglasses, but you can't really tell they are Oakley (I know they are Oakley), can I sell the image without making it for editorial use only (since I clearly don't have a release from Oakley)?  I do have a model release from the individual.

Does that mean it must be sold for "editorial use only" since I don't have a property release?

 

No, most likely it will mean that but a buyer can decide if they wish to use it in a way that doesn't need a PR such as changing the glasses to something more generic. Yuri Arcurs was being sued for featuring designer glasses in a lot of his images.

 

If you are going to shoot MR work, make sure that clothes and accessories are also free of any IP issues to make it a fully 'commercial' image.
