here is the legalities for UEFN asset rejection UPRISING\_LOGO\_thumb.uasset Reasoning: Violation of our community rules regarding Respect IP Ownership The owner registered a violation on 25 September 2025 Delete **Content/Ui/logos/LLpack/UPRISING\_LOGO\_thumb.uasse** t from your project This Thumbnail is not owned by Epic **who owns the intellectual property uprising logo thumbnail** Based on standard intellectual property principles, ownership of a logo thumbnail (such as one for an “Uprising” brand, game, or event) generally resides with the **creator or the entity that commissioned it**. Here is a breakdown of who likely owns the IP: - **The Creator/Designer:** If an independent graphic artist designed the logo, they own the copyright unless they signed an agreement transferring those rights. - **The Hiring Entity/Company:** If the logo was created by an employee as part of their job, or if a freelancer signed a “work-for-hire” contract, the company or person who hired them owns the IP. - **Registered Trademark Owner:** The legal owner is often identifiable by searching the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) or trademark database for the “Uprising” brand name. **If the Logo is AI-Generated:** If the thumbnail was created using AI (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E), ownership is more complex. While some AI platforms grant users the right to use the image, they may not own the copyright, or it may be considered a “computer-generated work” where the person who made the arrangements for the image owns the rights. **To identify the specific owner of a particular “Uprising” logo, you would need to check the trademark registry or the terms of service of the entity using it.** see also [[ARTICLE] Understanding Copyright and Trademark in UEFN Game Development - Community / Community & Industry Discussion - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/article-understanding-copyright-and-trademark-in-uefn-game-development/1779016) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/major-bug-with-ip-islands-ip-infringement-warnings-without-a-sanctions-to-appeal/2697652)._
