What is Printful’s IP Registry?
A free and collaborative way to protect your intellectual property on Printful.
Upload your registered brand assets – like logos, designs, or slogans – and our system will screen for and help stop unauthorized use of your intellectual property.
How Printful’s IP Registry works:
1. Submit your IP
Upload your trademarked or copyrighted brand assets – stored 
securely, never shared.
2. We review it
Our team checks your files and documentation and determines if 
they’re eligible for the IP Registry.
3. We add your assets to the system
If approved, your IP goes into our AI-powered content moderation tool.
4. Orders get screened
If the content in other designs matches your IP, we’ll reject the orders.

Our IP Registry is an AI-driven protection tool designed to provide a proactive layer of defense, but no system is foolproof. You remain responsible for independently monitoring your own intellectual property and taking any necessary enforcement actions. We can’t guarantee that every instance of potential infringement will be detected, removed, or prevented, and use of this service doesn’t replace your own due diligence or legal enforcement efforts.
