Title: istock rejected my all vector but why.....
Post by: mukul on November 29, 2018, 01:03
I am using free fonts which allows me to use them commercially and I have licence and also font author's permission to use it for stock photography websites. but when I make some philosophical quote poster vector designs and submit to istock then they all rejected by legal copyright/trademark issue. so is there any solution for this problem. thanks

From my own personal experience the problem may be the quote itself, rather than the font.

Yes, it could be the quote itself.. I have never seen any font rejection unless you try to sell it as the font itself.

This came up with a Google search: https://info.legalzoom.com/copyrighted-trademark-phrases-20178.html

Could be worth double checking if someone else copyrighted it. Better safe than sorry.

If not, it could also be a copyrighted name in your keywords?

This is something you have to research.

If you think its not the quote then there must be any other reason. How about contacting the support and ask them?
