Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: May 14, 2025

At Leaf & Latch, we believe in original creativity—and we work hard to grow and protect it. This Intellectual Property Policy explains what’s protected, what counts as misuse, and what steps we take to protect our leafy brand, products, and digital assets.

What’s Covered by Intellectual Property Law

Everything created and sold by Leaf & Latch is original content and is protected by U.S. copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws, including but not limited to:

  • Digital planners, inserts, journals, and sticker books
  • Printable stationery, sticker sheets, Kindle inserts, and layout packs
  • Physical sticker and magnet designs
  • Product names, titles, and taglines
  • The Leaf & Latch logo and visual brand elements
  • Website graphics, custom icons, and content layout
  • Marketing copy, social captions, and product descriptions
  • Program names and structures (like Rooted Rewards)

We do not tolerate copying, redistribution, unauthorized commercial use, or passing off our work as your own.

What Counts as Infringement

You may not, without written permission from Leaf & Latch:

  • Reproduce, resell, or distribute our digital files or physical products
  • Upload Leaf & Latch products to Canva, Pinterest, Etsy, or other third-party sites
  • Use our product names, titles, or brand phrases for your own commercial products
  • Alter or edit our files for resale, even if “heavily modified”
  • Remove copyright notices or branding from product files
  • Create “inspired by” duplicates that closely resemble our designs
  • Claim credit for any of our designs, templates, or copy

Doing any of the above is a violation of our IP rights and may result in legal action.

If You Think Something’s Yours…

We totally get that sometimes creators create similar things—plants do cross-pollinate after all. If you believe something on our website infringes on your original work, please reach out to us directly so we can investigate:

leafandlatch.studio@gmail.com

Please include:

  • A description of the material you believe was copied
  • A link to the original work
  • Proof that you are the rights holder

We take all reports seriously and will respond promptly.

Enforcement & DMCA

Leaf & Latch reserves the right to:

  • Report listings or posts that violate our copyrights or trademarks
  • Submit DMCA takedown notices to hosting platforms, marketplaces, or social media networks
  • Pursue legal remedies if violations are repeated or egregious

We use watermarking, metadata, and search tools to monitor unauthorized sharing or duplication of our materials.

Respect the Roots

We’re a small business rooted in creativity, and every design we release is made with intention, energy, and lots of planty passion. If you love what we do, support it—don’t copy it.
