Certain intellectual property may be protected and managed not only at the IHS Entertainment Group level, but also at the level of the specific project, game, experience, server, or sub-group to which it belongs.

This means that a game, community project, or sub-brand operating under IHS Entertainment Group may have its own protected project layer, identity, branding set, asset pool, item library, media structure, documentation set, or operational materials, while still falling under the wider rights, control, and protection framework of IHS Entertainment Group.

Without limitation, all of the following may be protected either:

• directly by IHS Entertainment Group;

This includes, but is not limited to:

• in-game items;

• inventories and item libraries;

• vehicles, buildings, uniforms, tools, weapons, props, decorations, and custom assets;

• project logos, project names, project branding, project media kits, and project-specific social material;

• project documentation, rulesets, notices, support formats, and internal management materials.

5.3 No claim by contributors, players, or participants

A user, player, staff member, tester, creator, or contributor does not obtain ownership over a project’s IP merely because they:

• accessed the project;

• participated in the project;

• played the game;

• held a role in a server or project space;

• or assisted with project operations,

unless specific written terms expressly state otherwise.
