Gothweb thought what i first though his question was about then i changed my mind.

so you're asking if you need to include a photo of a TV set or computer in a design if you take a photo of your Sony TV or Apple ocmputer are you ok legally to sell the design?

Probably not, like Gothboy said, might be a good idea to blur out logos like Apple and Sony. But it's a real longshot anybody would ever finger you for that.

I see teenie photoshoots with stuffed animals like Winnie the Pooh - if a photographer was following the letter of the law would he have to have permission from Walt Disney for the usage of the Pooh doll?

Think so actually, if you notice sometimes when pro athletes do commercials they are not wearng the uniforms of the teams they play for - so you'd see Michael Jordan in a red and black basketball uniform but no Chicago Bulls logo - cuz whoever hired
MJ didn't want to also pay the NBA another fee to have Jordan wearing the real Bulls uniform.
