Could you please provide detailed information regarding:

  1. The use of recognizable branded elements (e.g., logos, trademarks, product designs) in both photographs and illustrations.

  2. The rules surrounding derivative works, especially when referencing public domain or AI-generated content.

  3. The necessary permissions or releases required when submitting content that might feature intellectual property indirectly (e.g., architecture, vehicles, packaging).

  4. Specific considerations for AI-generated content and how IP rules apply in that context.

Any clarification or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to maintain the highest standard of compliance and contribute responsibly to the platform.

Correct answer Abambo

1) brand owners (like Apple) protect fiercely their brand, so they are a no go, even for smaller and the smallest brands. Edit them out.

2) don't use derivate work. 

3) Submit a property release.

4) Nothing. Generating an iPhone is still an IP violation.
