Can I license patterns so they can only be used in a specific industry?

No. Patterned’s license agreements do not allow artists to restrict the use of their patterns by industry.

When you enable licensing, buyers who purchase a Commercial or Exclusive License may use your design across industries (clothing, homeware, stationery, accessories, and more) as long as they follow the standard license restrictions.

Here are links to review our Buyer Agreement, Seller Agreement and General License Agreement.

✨ If you only want your design used in certain contexts, the best option is to work with buyers directly through custom alteration requests or limit which patterns you choose to make available for licensing.
