Intellectual Property Policy

 

Last Updated: Jan 1, 2026

Origin Sculpture respects artistic creativity, original authorship, and the intellectual property rights of artists, designers, photographers, architects, customers, and other rights holders.

This Intellectual Property Policy explains the ownership and permitted use of sculpture designs, custom project materials, technical documents, website content, brand assets, and other creative materials associated with Origin Sculpture.

Nothing in this policy claims ownership over third-party intellectual property, public-domain works, or customer-supplied materials that Origin Sculpture does not own.

1. Origin Sculpture Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise identified or agreed in writing, Origin Sculpture or its licensors own the intellectual property rights in original materials created, commissioned, acquired, or lawfully licensed for our business, including:

  • Original sculpture designs and artistic compositions;

  • Product photographs and project photography;

  • Videos, graphics, illustrations, and visual presentations;

  • Product descriptions, blog articles, guides, and website copy;

  • Original sketches, CAD drawings, 3D models, and renderings;

  • Technical drawings, engineering details, and production documents;

  • Molds, models, patterns, tooling, and fabrication files;

  • Proprietary finishing specifications and production documentation;

  • Website layout and original digital content;

  • Trade names, logos, trademarks, and other brand assets; and

  • Advertising, catalog, and marketing materials.

These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, design-right, trade-secret, unfair-competition, patent, or other applicable laws, depending on the nature of the material and the jurisdiction.

The inclusion of an item in this policy does not represent that every item is registered or eligible for every form of intellectual property protection.

2. Sculpture Designs and Artistic Works

Original sculpture designs created by or for Origin Sculpture may not be copied, reproduced, adapted, manufactured, commercially distributed, or used to develop competing products without authorization from the applicable rights holder.

Unless permitted by applicable law or authorized in writing, you may not:

  • Reproduce an Origin Sculpture design;

  • Manufacture or commission a sculpture based on our original drawings or renderings;

  • Create substantially similar commercial products from our protected designs;

  • Convert our photographs or renderings into production files or three-dimensional models;

  • Remove copyright, trademark, watermark, or ownership notices;

  • Publish or distribute our technical drawings or production documents;

  • Sell, license, or commercially exploit our digital content; or

  • Represent our designs or products as being created by another company.

Unauthorized use may result in removal requests, account restrictions, claims for damages, or other remedies available under applicable law.

3. Custom and Commissioned Projects

Custom projects may involve original concepts, sketches, CAD drawings, 3D renderings, engineering documents, finish specifications, models, molds, fabrication plans, and production methods.

Unless a signed project agreement expressly provides otherwise:

  • Origin Sculpture retains its rights in preliminary concepts, rejected concepts, drawings, renderings, models, molds, production files, fabrication methods, and technical documentation created by or for Origin Sculpture;

  • The customer owns the physical sculpture after full payment and delivery, subject to the applicable sales agreement;

  • Ownership of the physical sculpture does not automatically transfer copyright, design rights, reproduction rights, molds, CAD files, or manufacturing rights;

  • The customer may possess, install, display, relocate, resell, or otherwise use the physical sculpture for its intended purpose;

  • The customer may photograph the installed sculpture for ordinary personal, property, portfolio, editorial, or project-record purposes, subject to any separate artist or third-party rights;

  • Production files and editable source files are not included unless expressly listed in the quotation or agreement; and

  • Any transfer or exclusive license of intellectual property rights must be stated in a separate written agreement signed by the relevant parties.

Paying for the development or production of a commissioned sculpture does not, by itself, transfer intellectual property rights where applicable law or the written project agreement provides otherwise.

For architect-, designer-, artist-, developer-, or hospitality-led projects, ownership, portfolio use, confidentiality, attribution, exclusivity, and reproduction rights may be defined in a separate project agreement.

4. Customer-Supplied Materials

Customers may provide photographs, portraits, drawings, logos, artworks, architectural plans, reference images, text, or other materials for a custom project.

By providing these materials, the customer represents that:

  • The customer owns the materials or has sufficient permission to use them;

  • Origin Sculpture is authorized to use the materials for the requested project;

  • The requested production will not knowingly infringe another party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights; and

  • Any required artist, photographer, architect, model, estate, trademark-owner, or property-owner permission has been obtained.

The customer grants Origin Sculpture a limited, non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, share, and use the supplied materials only as reasonably necessary to evaluate, design, quote, manufacture, deliver, install, or support the project.

Origin Sculpture does not acquire ownership of customer-supplied intellectual property merely because it is submitted for a project.

We may decline a project when ownership or authorization is unclear or when the requested work may infringe third-party rights.

5. Classical, Historical, and Public-Domain Works

Origin Sculpture may offer reproductions, interpretations, studies, or adaptations inspired by classical, historical, or public-domain artworks.

Where an underlying artwork is in the public domain, Origin Sculpture does not claim ownership of the original historical composition itself.

However, separate rights may exist in original contributions created by Origin Sculpture, including:

  • New photographs;

  • Original renderings;

  • Product descriptions;

  • Modified compositions;

  • New sculptural interpretations;

  • Custom proportions or design elements;

  • Digital models;

  • Production drawings; and

  • Original marketing presentations.

The public-domain status of an underlying artwork does not give permission to copy Origin Sculpture’s original photography, renderings, files, text, or newly created artistic elements.

Some museums, estates, photographers, artists, or institutions may hold separate rights in particular photographs, reproductions, trademarks, names, or licensed materials. Those rights remain with their respective owners.

6. Artist Collaborations and Licensed Works

Some artworks or content may be created by independent artists, designers, photographers, studios, or other collaborators.

Ownership and licensing arrangements for these works are governed by the applicable agreement. Origin Sculpture will not claim broader rights than those granted by the creator or rights holder.

Where appropriate, artist attribution, copyright notices, licensing restrictions, or project-specific terms may appear on the applicable product or project page.

Purchasing a licensed or artist-designed sculpture does not grant the purchaser the right to reproduce, manufacture, commercially distribute, tokenize, or create derivative products from the artwork unless expressly authorized.

7. Trademarks and Brand Assets

The name Origin Sculpture, together with our logos, brand presentation, slogans, and other source-identifying elements, may constitute trademarks, service marks, trade names, or trade dress owned by or licensed to Origin Sculpture.

You may not use these brand assets in a manner that:

  • Suggests an unauthorized partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement;

  • Creates confusion about the source of products or services;

  • Imitates our branding for competing goods or services;

  • Registers or attempts to register a confusingly similar name, domain, account, or mark;

  • Uses our brand in misleading advertising; or

  • Damages or misrepresents the Origin Sculpture brand.

Permission to use an Origin Sculpture logo or other brand asset must be obtained in writing unless the use is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

8. Website Content and Digital Media

Website content may be viewed for personal evaluation, project research, and purchasing purposes.

Unless authorized in writing or permitted by applicable law, you may not:

  • Copy substantial portions of the Site;

  • Download images for commercial reuse;

  • Republish product descriptions or blog articles;

  • Use our images to advertise another supplier’s products;

  • Remove watermarks or copyright notices;

  • Use our content to create misleading product listings;

  • Scrape or systematically collect Site content;

  • Train or develop a commercial model or competing content library using protected Site materials where such restriction is permitted by law;

  • Sell or sublicense our digital materials; or

  • Convert our images, drawings, or renderings into manufacturing files.

Linking to a publicly available page on our Site is generally permitted, provided the link is not misleading and does not imply an endorsement or partnership.

9. Editorial, Educational, and Non-Commercial Use

Origin Sculpture supports responsible discussion of sculpture, craftsmanship, materials, maintenance, architecture, and public art.

Limited quotation, commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, or educational use may be permitted by applicable law. Whether a particular use is lawful depends on the circumstances and jurisdiction.

Attribution alone does not automatically make copying lawful or replace the need for permission.

When permission is required, please contact us before using the material. An approved use should:

  • Identify Origin Sculpture as the source;

  • Preserve copyright and attribution notices;

  • Avoid misleading alterations;

  • Avoid implying endorsement or partnership; and

  • Follow any scope, duration, platform, or image-quality restrictions included in the permission.

Commercial use, product manufacturing, advertising use, and redistribution of high-resolution files require prior written authorization unless permitted by law.

10. Product Purchase Does Not Transfer Intellectual Property

Purchasing a sculpture transfers ownership of the physical product after payment and delivery according to the applicable sales terms.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, the purchase does not transfer:

  • Copyright;

  • Trademark rights;

  • Design rights;

  • Reproduction or manufacturing rights;

  • Molds or models;

  • CAD or three-dimensional files;

  • Technical or engineering documents;

  • Original photographs or renderings;

  • Proprietary production methods; or

  • The right to commercially create derivative products.

Resale of a lawfully purchased physical sculpture may be permitted under applicable law, but the seller may not claim authorship, affiliation, or reproduction rights that were not granted.

11. Confidential and Proprietary Information

Certain non-public information may be confidential or proprietary, including:

  • Unreleased designs;

  • Editable production files;

  • Technical specifications;

  • Internal pricing methods;

  • Supplier information;

  • Manufacturing processes;

  • Custom finish formulas;

  • Engineering solutions; and

  • Private customer or project information.

Access to such information does not grant ownership or permission to disclose or use it for another purpose.

Confidentiality obligations may also be governed by a quotation, nondisclosure agreement, project contract, employment agreement, or supplier agreement.

12. Reporting Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringement

If you believe content available through Origin Sculpture infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please send a written notice to:

Email: info@originsculpture.com

Your notice should include:

  • Your full name and contact information;

  • Identification of the copyrighted work, trademark, design, or other right involved;

  • Identification and URL of the material you believe is infringing;

  • An explanation of your ownership or authority to act for the rights holder;

  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or applicable law;

  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate;

  • Where applicable, a statement made under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act for the rights holder; and

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

We may request additional documentation reasonably necessary to evaluate the notice.

After receiving a sufficiently complete notice, we may investigate the claim, contact the relevant parties, restrict access to the disputed material, remove the material, or take another appropriate action.

Submitting a knowingly false or misleading infringement notice may result in liability under applicable law.

13. Response and Counter-Notification

If material you submitted is removed or restricted because of an infringement notice and you believe the action was a mistake or misidentification, you may contact us with:

  • Identification of the removed material;

  • The previous location of the material;

  • An explanation of why you believe the removal was mistaken;

  • Your contact information;

  • Any statements required by applicable law; and

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Where a formal statutory notice-and-takedown procedure applies, we will process notices and counter-notices according to the applicable legal requirements.

This policy does not represent that Origin Sculpture qualifies for any particular statutory safe harbor or that the above email address is a formally registered DMCA agent.

14. Repeat or Serious Infringement

Where appropriate and legally permitted, we may restrict submissions, terminate accounts, decline projects, or discontinue relationships involving repeated or serious infringement.

We may also preserve and disclose relevant information when required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

15. No Implied License

Except for the limited permissions expressly stated in this policy, no license or right is granted by implication, estoppel, purchase, access to the Site, or otherwise.

Any permission granted by Origin Sculpture:

  • Must be interpreted according to its written scope;

  • May be limited by purpose, platform, territory, or duration;

  • Does not include third-party rights; and

  • May be withdrawn if its conditions are violated, subject to applicable agreements and law.

16. Policy Updates

We may update this Intellectual Property Policy to reflect changes in our creative work, business practices, collaborations, or legal obligations.

Revisions will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Changes apply prospectively unless applicable law or a written agreement requires otherwise.
