SNEK's Intellectual Property includes, but is not limited to, our logo, brand name, slogans, and any other creative expressions associated or used in connection with SNEK.

Copyright is a legal concept that grants the creators of original works exclusive rights to their creations, automatically (meaning it doesn’t require registration). These creations encompass a wide range of intellectual and artistic expressions. However, it's important to note that copyright laws vary from country to country. Copyright serves to balance the interests of creators and the public, fostering a creative environment while respecting the rights of those who bring new ideas and expressions into the world. Using someone else’s copyright is usually tolerated when it is done in the context of “fair use”. At SNEK, we encourage the use of our IP in the context of fair use, which can include the creation of fan art, memes or other playful content.

Trademarks are legal symbols or distinctive signs used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one business or entity from another. These symbols, which can include logos, brand names, slogans, or unique designs, serve as identifiers of the source of those products or services. Trademarks play a crucial role in building brand recognition, consumer trust, and market distinctiveness. As trademarks play a different role than copyright in this sense, we don’t tolerate when people use our trademark in the context of commercial purposes which could confuse our community about the source of the goods and services offered.
