Protecting Our Designs
At The Indian Block Print Co., we spend years developing original hand-carved printing block designs with our team of skilled artisans.
When you purchase one of our blocks, you are welcome to use it to create and sell your own handmade products. Purchasing a block grants permission only to use that physical block to produce handmade prints. It does not transfer any copyright, design rights or other intellectual property in the design itself.
Our blocks are intended for handmade production. They may not be used for mass-produced or automated manufacturing.
Purchasing one of our blocks does not give permission to:
- Copy or reproduce our block designs.
- Commission another carver to recreate one of our designs.
- Create moulds, casts or digital copies of our blocks.
- Manufacture or sell copies of our printing blocks.
- Reproduce our catalogue or product photography.
Our block designs remain the intellectual property of The Indian Block Print Co.
This includes using our photographs, artwork, block designs or products as source material for digital editing, AI image generation, 3D modelling, scanning or any other technology to create substantially similar designs, products, printing blocks or marketing materials.
We actively monitor for copied designs and work closely with our carving partners to discourage unauthorised reproduction.
By supporting original design, you help sustain traditional craftsmanship and fairly reward the artisans who create these collections.
Thank you for respecting original design.
