In this video, I am talking about two main types of artwork licenses you might encounter while creating a product for resale.

*Disclaimer:
I am an artist and not a lawyer. This is not legal advice, but me sharing my own experience and research in this field with you. Please contact your lawyer for more information about this topic.

Why do you need a license for using repeat patterns or other types of artwork for manufacturing commercial products?

A license is a legal practice to protect you, your business, and the creator of the artwork. It is stated in the contract signed by both parties.

So let’s get started. There are many types of artwork licenses, but these two are the most important for you as a product manufacturer:
Exclusive and Non-Exclusive License

* Exclusive Licence
Only you and you alone (licensee) will be able to use this artwork for the manufacturing of your products for sale and using it for your promotional purposes.

You cannot resell the rights to the artwork or give it away for free online.

The exclusive license can be time-bound. For example, you purchase an exclusive license for 3 years.

*Non-Exclusive License
You receive the right to use this repeat pattern or another type of artwork for manufacturing your products for sale and using it in your promotional purposes, but the artist can license it to other people at the same time too. Artists can also manufacture his or her own products using this artwork.

To sum up
This is my short explanation of the difference between exclusive and non-exclusive licenses for licensing vector repeating patterns or other types of artwork for your commercial products and merchandise for sale.
