What should I do if I see a Minted design that looks too similar to another artist’s work?

Minted takes copyright laws very seriously and is committed to defending our artists’ intellectual property and respecting that of others. We have an internal review team that evaluates all cases of potential copying and infringement and takes appropriate action as needed.

If you believe you've found a design that copies an existing design:

1. Report it to us. Please fill out our Designs to Flag for Review form and provide as much detail as possible (e.g., links to the designs, specific similarities, etc.).
   
   
2. Never engage directly. Please avoid contacting the suspected infringer or posting about it on social media, in online groups, on the Minted platform in design comments, or Minted's Community Slack. Doing so may harm our case if legal action needs to be taken.
   
   Likewise, when you find submissions to challenges that you think are too similar, we ask that you not contact artists directly about your concerns. It’s important that all designs are evaluated consistently from the same legal perspective and that we contact applicable artists with an official verdict from Minted’s review team. We also want to avoid any confrontations or conflicts between artists. We'd like your help in keeping the Minted community a place where members feel comfortable experimenting, growing, and learning.

What happens after I report a design I think is a copy?

Our review team will evaluate your report and decide on the next steps. Once we review the piece in question, we’ll email you to let you know what decision was made and how we’re moving forward.

Minted's commitment to creative integrity and your role

The community is a huge help in finding infringement, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you see something that gives you pause. We sincerely appreciate and share your passion for protecting the great designs on Minted and will take swift action when necessary.
