It's strange how this image violates copyright.

Hi. This image refused admission due to “Intellectual Property Refusal”. It’s curious what exactly the violation is. Maybe the light shadow on the helmet resembles some kind of trademark? Are the words already considered a trademark? Or the font style? I don't know

You’re right.

Skimo Co

(skimo.co) is a prominent, specialized retailer based in Utah focused exclusively on ski mountaineering gear, including boots, skis, and bindings.

Stock is a global service. Most global customers to not use English as a primary language. You’ll reach more interested customers without text than you will with it. Something to think about.

You are right. But in this case, this image is for those who need an illustration for an Olympic winter sport with its official name in English - ski mountaineering (abbreviated as SKIMO). Many thanks for your feedback

If you say so. But the next Winter Olympics in 2030 will be held in France’s French Alps, not the U.S.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I understand that. It's just that this image is specifically for those who want to illustrate a specific sport with its official international name. Without the accompanying title, it is not clear that it is about ski mountaineering (SKIMO), and not, for example, skitouring

That maybe the case. It is trade marked as @Jill_C pointed out.
Adobe will not accept trademarked images.

The point of submitting something to Adobe Stock is to have images anyone can use in a project.
