Question

I can’t understand the reason for the rejection due to an intellectual property violation

Hello everyone!
Could you please help me figure out where the intellectual property violation might be in my photos?
Whenever the keyboard of this laptop appears in the photo, the images get rejected. I can’t understand what exactly is visible that causes the issue.
From my assumptions: it could be the space bar, but some photos with the space bar clearly visible still get approved. Or maybe it’s the white keys on the keyboard, but even those photos are sometimes approved and sometimes rejected.
Could you please advise what else I might be missing?

There is something unique about the laptop that is triggering the IP rejection. Perhaps the area highlighted, perhaps the power button which is unusual... who is the manufacturer?

I'm pretty sure the IP issue is that design that I highlighted. If you wanted to take the time to edit that out, you can resubmit and see if it's accepted.

I agree with @Ricky336 . That is a very unique keyboard.

I would resubmit. Becareful not to use brand names in the title and keywords.

Resubmitting the photos doesn’t help—the reviewer keeps seeing something in these photos that I can’t identify. I need to figure out the reason to either avoid it during the shoot or remove it during editing before submitting the materials to stock platforms

Was the phone included with your other photos? The phone looks like an iPhone design. The design of the product can also cause IP rejection.

Yes, I often take photos with this phone in the frame, and all of them get accepted.
I face issues when the laptop is visible, especially its keyboard

I suspect it has something to do with the design of the keyboard/laptop.
