Is "make your own branded stuff" applicable by proxy?
If I want to "make my own branded stuff" but use a service that will print the design on my behalf, is that permissible? Specifically, I'm eyeing an option to get a custom design printed on a smartphone case. From my perspective, I'm the one "making my own branded stuff"—I'd be uploading a custom image compatible with the Visual Identity Guidelines and the provider would merely be printing it on the single case they sold me—that seems compatible with "make your own branded stuff". On the other hand, it'd be pretty reasonable to frame the same situation as the provider selling a branded product, which is clearly not permissible without a license. The provider I'm considering does not ask for any explicit license on the uploaded content, but merely requires customers to only use content that they own or have the legal permission to use, and to indemnify the provider against any costs associated with legal action regarding the use of the uploaded design.
It's really not critical—I don't have a particular design in mind yet, and probably know enough about IP law that I could create non-infringing designs that were evocative of Wikipedia/Wikimedia without using any of the Marks proper (e.g. a jigsaw-puzzle line pattern background with no "W" glyphs or similar). That said, this seems like a useful edge case to ask about. Nihiltres (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
