REJECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

[sergio1587]

Hello, I come here because I took about 40 photos with phrases made by me with a wooden background and all were rejected and I do not know why.

I see in other photos of different styles that do the same, but they are for sale.

You can help me and tell me what the PI error is

1. If a photo contains any made object (created by or designed by humans), less than 100 years old, it needs a property release. 

2. The wood background seems generic (assuming it is real wood, not a printed design), and needs no release.

3 .You would (in theory) need a propery release signed by the maker of the letter tiles. (If you made them, the rule is the same, how could Adobe know this without a release?)

4. HOWEVER, the tiles are clearly an unauthorized copy of the design used in the game Scrabble. (This is easy to see, the game scores are on each tile). You would need a property release from the owners of the Scrabble game AND one signed by the maker of the tiles.

The characters have numbers on and the tiles are like scrabble tiles. They will be refused each time on IP reasons.

In the United States, HASBRO, Inc. owns the Scrabble trademark.  In most other parts of the world, Mattel, Inc. owns the Scrabble trademark.  Therefore, you can't use those game tiles in commercial images.

The existing images in Adobe Stock that feature numbered Scrabble tiles and/or playing boards are marked "Editorial Only"; only invited Stock Contributors are permitted to submit Editorial images. There are many other images using generic letter tiles (without the game points indicated), so I assume if you purchased a set of un-numbered generic tiles you could reshoot the images. I suppose you could also edit out the numbers on your existing images.

As an alternative to game tiles, I have seen words formed by wooden children's blocks from the dollar store and also cut up paper letters.
