IP topics to clarify before bulk
| Question | Why it matters | Ask the factory |
|---|---|---|
| Design patent on shell | Amazon / retail takedowns | Patent numbers and territories |
| Public mold? | 20+ identical listings | Is this shell exclusive to you? |
| Your logo | Brand ownership | Artwork belongs to you in contract |
| Utility vs design | Different enforcement | Which IP covers the SKU you quote |

FAQ
Does factory IP mean my brand is protected?
Your logo is yours; platform IP covers the industrial design — clarify both in contract.
What if a competitor copies my listing?
Platform IP helps; your brand trademarks and listing evidence are separate.
Are all silicone masks the same IP?
No — hollow float and structure can be patented; verify per supplier.
MOQ with patented platform?
Radiant private label from 200 units after sample approval.
