Hi there,
Unfortunately, pictures in my profile are repeatedly rejected with the remark "REJECTED TO THE PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY".
My problem is that there is no intellectual property protection for what is shown in the pictures, these are public things that are shown everywhere, wherever and even worse, the pictures where these things are shown are uploaded by others and by the there are no complaints, please do not let me know that the pictures are older and from the previous provider that you have taken over, the pictures are as good as new!
I am really considering leaving it here and looking for another provider who has more sensitivity for the research of the pictures and does not declare a lighthouse or a museum ship etc. as intellectual property.
Maybe you should maybe show me where it says that the intellectual property of others is ...

Would you mind posting some specific examples? You've caught my curiosity. I'm under the impression most things in a museum are owned by a private party or the museum itself, including boats. All of the lighthouses in my area are also owned by a non-profit or individuals.

I would be interested to know of places or things others have posted that you've been rejected for. Its entirely possible they have obtained a property release to use the photos commercially.

Let's just start with this ...
This is the Westerhever lighthouse, there are 25 pages in Adobe Stock and nobody can tell me that the hundreds of pictures are from old stocks.
it continues with the pier in Sellin, of which there are eleven pages and there are current pictures at, the pier is shown from all sides.
What is the legal basis for the museum ship?
there are even current pictures of them here in Adobe Stock.
This is how it continues with the ship on the Elbe, that is the AIDA, I can also find the very latest pictures of it at adobe stock.
who actually controls whether it is intellectual property or not ???
Perhaps you should send the photographer concerned a link with where it says that it is intellectual property.
I also can't understand why pictures are sorted out where you see people but can never and never recognize who it is or cannot even say whether it is a man or a woman.
I can understand this rule, but not that the whole thing is carried out like an arbitrary rule, just because there is a name somewhere or a person building that maybe a tree can be seen in the picture ...
stay healthy and have a great rainy sunday

The three last contain logos and ship names or similar. They present also technical issues btw. As for the first, I can see only the watermark. But I suppose on the submitted picture, you omitted that, did you? I could not even see too much technical issues. That is probably the only one that could or should pass.

It's Adobe's discretion to refuse an asset, but sometimes on rare occasions, assets get accepted or refused by error. And if you look at the volume of the submitted pictures and the fact that the first, but may be not the only defect leaves to a refusal, it would be a big work charge for the moderators to point out every defect in your pictures. We contributors are not the one who count, but the customers. Having unhappy customers will be more difficult to cope with than unhappy contributors.

Also, if the moderator things people could gotten recognized, you get a refusal, even if no one can recognize him- or herself.

Post the picture, so that we can analyse. This is IP in the sense of using the asset in commercial projects, not in the sense that it is forbidden to take a picture and publish it somewhere in a gallery.

And yes, some pictures in the database would not be accepted any more today for different reasons.

FYI: I'll move this to the correct forum, which is the Stock Contributor forum.
