ownership of products
If the customer purchases a pre-developed block pattern, pattern, and/or charts, the customer has the non-exclusive right to use it. Pre-developed products remain my property. I, therefore, have the right to use them for commercial purposes.
If the block pattern is mine, from which patterns are developed, only the patterns are strictly confidential and your sole property. You have the right to use the block pattern if purchased as mentioned above.
If your block pattern is used, all developed patterns and corresponding block pattern are strictly confidential and your sole property. I can neither use them for commercial nor personal purpose.
**Please note:
The term ‘block pattern’ is defined as a pattern conveying a fit, and optionally the grading between sizes.
The term ‘pattern’ is defined as the pattern corresponding to a given style. A style (fabric, style line/cuts, trim, proportion) is created from the same block pattern, the same fit. Many styles can be created from a given block pattern.

patent infringement
With fashion dictating seasonal styles, it is common to have different companies asking for similar styles. I am not responsible for the similarities between the different companies’ styles. Therefore, upon such requests, a pattern can be both similar yet not copied from yours.
I am not responsible if the desired pattern is either copied from another company or has a patent on it. I am not responsible for any breach of intellectual property. It is the customer’s responsibility to know whether he has the right to legally commercially use the desired pattern.
