Could the graphics on a render infringe someone's IP?
The tool does not copy existing characters, brands or specific products. Every category carries an originality rule written into the image instructions, and brand names in a buyer's brief are ignored. The logo and text you upload remain your responsibility.
Short answer: the graphics are original. Nothing is copied from an existing character, brand mark or a specific product on the market. This is not left to the model's judgement: every category has an originality rule written into the image instructions, and every render carries it. Your own uploaded logo and printed text sit outside that rule; their rights are yours to clear.
Why bag categories need this most
Switch 2 cases are the easiest place to cross the line. Buyers love "the one with the character", and in this category every character worth having belongs to Nintendo. A render with Mario, Pokémon or Zelda on it cannot go into tooling no matter how good it looks: the product gets delisted, customs holds it, and the factory is first in line.
So this category's rule is the most specific: no Nintendo characters, no well-known cartoon or brand figures, no copying of an existing product's look. Wall art carries a different rule, written against imitating a living artist's signature style. Each category gets its own wording.
Original characters as the substitute for licensed ones
When a buyer asks for "a design with a character", what they want is the mood and the recognisability, not necessarily one specific figure. The tool draws its own cartoon characters and mascots and carries them through to charms and linings, so the piece reads as a set. These designs sell in volume, a factory can make them, and nobody pays a licence fee.
What if the buyer's brief names a brand
The "special requests" field is for the buyer's needs: "must hold 6 game cards", "the client likes a clean Japanese look". If a brand name, a character or a specific existing product appears in it, only the parts about structure, material, colour and use are taken up. Brands and characters are ignored, not reproduced. You do not need to scrub the words out yourself.
What stays your responsibility
- The logo you upload is printed as-is on the front of the product. Whether you or your buyer have the right to use it is not something the tool judges; the page says so.
- Printed text goes on literally. Type someone else's trademark and that is what gets printed.
- A shared silhouette is not copying. Console cases cluster around a few shapes: flat hard shell, book-style folio, double-deck box. Everyone makes them. The originality rule governs graphics, marks and specific appearance, not "no hard shells".
In one sentence
Graphics, characters and appearance are kept original by the tool, with a per-category rule on every render; the logo and text you hand it are yours to clear. If a graphic looks borderline, email hi@icre.ai.
