Intellectual Property Refusal?

The following photo's were rejected due to an intellectual property violation. Can anyone tell me what intellectual property is shown in the following images? The only possible violation I can think of is the last photo, where the guy on the left has some text on his shirt which is probably a logo?

The second picture definitively needs a model release and does not contain IP related items. But you may look also into your keywords and title for IP related things. A title "This is not a coke" would get a clear IP related refusal, even when on the picture nothing in relation with IP would be pictured.

Just to clarify, the model release is not the issue. All of these images got refused due to intellectual property violation and I am trying to find out why Adobe gave IP as a reason. This way I can either reupload these images or keep the intellectual property rules in mind for my future uploads.

    For images 1&2, have you considered their clothing? For #2 the man is wearing clothing of religious significance is he not? Sadhu? 

    Adobe is rather particular about IP rights, so they may consider this to be possible Property Rights violation, as well as your other images.

      Thanks for your reply, I hadn't considered clothing to have IP rights. The man in #2 is indeed a Sadhu! Thanks for your input and I will keep it in mind for my next shots!

      The logo is definitely a reason for refusal, but did you also have a model release for the people? If not, that is another reason. You most definitely need a model release for images 1,2,4!

      Thank you for your reply. I understand that photo's 1, 2 and 4 need a model release but I still don't understand why images 1 and 2 contain 'intellectual property'. Image 3 has no identifiable people or logo's at all and also got refused due to intellectual property violation.

      Item 3 looks like a theatrical performance, with designed staging. It may not be but checkers have to assume it. As such it would be IP and need a release from the producer.
