Can I trademark or copyright AI-generated images?
Complex Topic鈥擵aries by Jurisdiction
Current Legal Landscape:

- 🇪🇺 EU: Similar stance—copyright requires human creative input
- 🇬🇧 UK: More lenient—may recognize "computer-generated works"
Practical Recommendations:
- Edit/modify AI outputs to add human creativity (increases copyright eligibility)
- Use AI as a tool, not sole creator (e.g., AI mockup →Photoshop edits →final design)
- Consult IP lawyer for high-value commercial projects
- Trademark protection: You CAN trademark logos/brands that include AI elements (trademark protects brand identity, not just art)
Disclaimer: Not legal advice. Consult an IP attorney for specific guidance.
Are there content restrictions or prohibited uses?
Yes鈥擶e prohibit harmful, illegal, and unethical content.
✗Prohibited Content:
- Illegal Content: Child exploitation, terrorism, illegal drugs, weapons trafficking
- Violence & Harm: Graphic violence, self-harm promotion, animal abuse
- Hate & Harassment: Hate speech, discrimination, bullying
- Adult Content: NSFW, sexually explicit imagery
- Deceptive Use: Deep fakes for fraud, impersonation, misinformation

- Spam & Abuse: Mass generation for spam, automated bots
✓Allowed Uses:
- All commercial and personal creative projects (within ethical bounds)
- Educational, artistic, and research purposes
- Marketing, advertising, e-commerce
- Entertainment and media production
Enforcement: AI safety filters block prohibited prompts. Repeated violations may result in IP blocking.
What is your DMCA and content takedown policy?
We respect intellectual property rights.
If You Believe Your Copyright Was Infringed:
- Contact us at legal@nano2image.com with DMCA notice
- Include: Your contact info, description of copyrighted work, URL/screenshot of alleged infringement, good faith statement
- We'll review within 48 hours
- If valid, we'll remove content and may block similar prompts

- AI Training: Our AI (Google Gemini) is trained by Google. We don't control training data.
