That's my image and it was rejected by intellectual property (IP) laws.

Can somebody tell me why, maybe i don't understand something?

The iconic Rubik's Cube is owned by Toronto-based toymaker, SpinMaster Corp.  They paid $50 million for it.  Unless you want a lawsuit on your hands, you have to get SpinMaster's written permission to use their design.

I am assuming the reviewers thought it was too similar to the Rubik's Cube, which has a known IP restriction.  Here is a link to a list of known image restrictions that might help you out:
