If you’re looking to purchase or use a surface pattern design for your project, it’s important to understand the different license types that are available. Each license type comes with its own set of terms and conditions, which can impact how you can use the design and whether or not you can sell products that feature the design.
We’ll take a closer look at the most common license types you can purchase, including Standard, Commercial, Exclusive, Non-Exclusive, Royalty-Free, and Limited Use Licenses. By understanding the differences between these license types, you’ll be better equipped to choose the one that best fits your needs and avoid any legal issues down the line. So let’s dive in!
Standard License
A standard license typically allows you to use the design for personal or non-commercial purposes only. This means that you cannot use the design to create products or designs that you intend to sell.
Commercial License
A commercial license allows you to use the design for commercial purposes, such as selling the design on products. However, LiCoBi Design, as the designer, may specify certain limitations, such as the number of products that can be created using the design.
Exclusive License
An exclusive license gives you exclusive rights to use the design. This means that LiCoBi Design, as the designer, cannot sell the design to anyone else, and you can use the design for any purpose, including commercial purposes.
Non-Exclusive License
A non-exclusive license allows LiCoBi Design, as the designer, to sell the design to multiple buyers. This means that you do not have exclusive rights to the design, and other people may also use it.
Royalty-Free License
A royalty-free license allows you to use the design without paying royalties to the designer. This means that you can use the design for personal or commercial purposes, but you may not resell the design.
Limited Use License
A limited use license allows you to use the design for a specific purpose or project. LiCoBi Design, as the designer, may specify limitations on the use of the design, such as the number of times it can be used or the types of products it can be used on.
