Wildwood Pattern Company Licensing

Original artwork. Made for creating.

Wildwood Pattern Company creates original, hand-drawn seamless patterns designed for makers, creative businesses, products, textiles, and interiors.

When you purchase a Wildwood digital pattern, you are purchasing a license to use the artwork according to the terms of the license you select.

You are not purchasing ownership or copyright of the artwork.

All artwork, copyrights, and intellectual-property rights remain the property of Wildwood Pattern Company unless a separate written agreement specifically states otherwise.

Choose the License That Fits Your Project

Wildwood offers several licensing options depending on how you plan to use the artwork.

Personal Use — $8

For non-commercial projects.

Standard Commercial — $24 For up to 1,000 finished physical units.

Extended Commercial — $65 For up to 2,500 finished physical units.

Custom Commercial- Required for production exceeding 5,000 finished physical units.

Contact Wildwood Pattern Company for pricing.

Textile & Material Production

For businesses selling the printed material itself, rather than using the material to manufacture another finished product.

Up to 100 yards — $125

101–500 yards — $275

Production exceeding 500 yards requires a custom Textile & Material Production License.

Exclusive Licensing

Available for select designs and uses.

Starting at $500.

Contact Wildwood Pattern Company for availability and pricing.

Personal Use License

The Personal Use License is intended for projects created for yourself, your household, family, or gifts.

Personal projects may include clothing, quilts, sewing projects, home décor, stationery, crafts, printed fabric, and other items that will not be sold or commercially distributed.

There is no production limit for genuine personal use.

A Personal Use License does not permit the sale of finished products created using the artwork.

If you’re making money from it, you’ll need one of our commercial licenses. 🌿

Standard Commercial License

The Standard Commercial License allows an individual or business to create and sell up to:

1,000 finished physical units per licensed pattern.

Permitted products may include:

Apparel, accessories, bags, handmade goods, home décor, stationery, stickers, drinkware, signs, physical merchandise, and other finished consumer products.

You may manufacture the products yourself or work with a professional manufacturer or production partner.

Example:

You purchase a Wildwood pattern and have fabric professionally printed.

You use that fabric to create 200 dresses.

Because the dress is the product being sold, each dress counts as one finished unit.

That use falls within your Standard Commercial License.

Extended Commercial License

The Extended Commercial License allows production and sale of up to:

2,500 finished physical units per licensed pattern.

This license is intended for growing businesses, larger product collections, wholesale production, and businesses whose production exceeds the Standard Commercial License limit.

The 2,500-unit limit is the total production permitted under this license, not an additional 2,500 units beyond the Standard License.

Production exceeding 2,500 units requires a Custom Commercial License.

Please contact Wildwood Pattern Company before exceeding this limit so we can discuss your project, intended production volume, and appropriate licensing.

What Counts as One Unit?

For commercial licensing purposes, one individual finished physical item counts as one unit.

For example:

1 mug = 1 unit

1 shirt = 1 unit

1 dress = 1 unit

1 tote bag = 1 unit

1 notebook = 1 unit

1 sticker = 1 unit

1 finished piece of home décor = 1 unit

Packaging multiple products together does not convert them into a single unit.

For example, a wholesale carton containing 50 individually produced mugs represents 50 units, not one unit.

When the licensed product is a material sold by length, such as fabric, the applicable Textile & Material Production License uses yards of material produced rather than finished-product units.

Textile & Material Production License

The Textile & Material Production License applies when a Wildwood pattern is printed onto a material and the patterned material itself is the product being sold or commercially distributed.

This is different from using printed material to manufacture another finished product.

Examples of products requiring this license include:

Fabric sold by the yard, wallpaper, wrapping paper, adhesive vinyl and similar commercially printed materials.

Textile & Material Production Tiers

Up to 100 yards — $125

Allows production and sale of up to 100 yards of fabric/material featuring the licensed Wildwood pattern.

101–500 yards — $275

Allows production and sale of up to 500 yards of fabric/material featuring the licensed Wildwood pattern.

More than 500 yards — Custom Licensing

Production exceeding 500 yards requires a custom Textile & Material Production License.

Please contact Wildwood Pattern Company with your anticipated production quantity and intended use for a custom quote.

Fabric for Your Own Finished Products

You do not need a Textile & Material Production License simply because you need fabric printed to manufacture your own products.

Here’s the distinction:

You print the fabric → sew dresses → sell the dresses.

Your product is the dress.

Each dress counts as one finished unit under your Standard, Extended, or Custom Commercial License.

You print the fabric → sell the fabric by the yard.

Your product is the fabric.

A Textile & Material Production License is required.

Your printer or manufacturer may receive the Wildwood pattern file only when necessary to complete production on behalf of your licensed business.

They receive no independent rights to the artwork.

Print-on-Demand

Wildwood patterns may be used with third-party print-on-demand manufacturers when permitted by your applicable commercial license and when the resulting item is a finished physical product sold by your business.

The print-on-demand provider may use the artwork only to manufacture products on your behalf.

The artwork may not be uploaded to public design libraries or marketplaces where other customers can access, customize, license, download, or independently use the design.

Exclusive Licensing

Exclusive licensing may be available for select Wildwood Pattern Company designs.

Because exclusivity can take several forms, these licenses are handled individually.

Exclusive rights may be limited by:

Product category • industry • geographic territory • sales channel • length of time

For example, a business could potentially obtain exclusive rights to a pattern for children’s apparel without receiving exclusive rights for wallpaper, stationery, home décor, or other product categories.

Exclusive licenses start at $500.

Actual pricing depends upon the design, intended use, scope of exclusivity, duration, territory, and commercial production.

Please contact Wildwood Pattern Company to discuss availability.

An Exclusive License does not transfer copyright or ownership unless a separate written agreement specifically provides for a copyright transfer.

Digital Files & Redistribution

Regardless of which license you purchase, the original Wildwood digital artwork may not be:

~Resold, shared, gifted, traded, or redistributed

~Sublicensed except where expressly authorized in writing

~Sold as a seamless pattern or digital paper

~Sold as clipart, graphics, or another digital design resource

~Uploaded to shared design libraries

~Uploaded to marketplaces where other users can access the artwork

~Included in templates or editable products in a way that allows the original artwork to be extracted

~Used to create another digital design intended for resale

~Provided to another business for its independent use

~Claimed as your own artwork

~Used as a trademark, logo, or exclusive brand identity

~Used to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models

A printer, manufacturer, employee, or contractor may receive the artwork only when necessary to manufacture products on behalf of the licensed purchaser.

They receive no independent license or usage rights.

Altering the Artwork

Reasonable production adjustments such as resizing, scaling, cropping, rotating, or positioning the pattern are permitted.

Changing colors, rearranging elements, adding other artwork, removing elements, or otherwise modifying a Wildwood design does not create a new design or transfer copyright.

Modified versions remain subject to the original Wildwood license.

Non-Exclusive Licensing

Unless explicitly identified as exclusive under a separate agreement, Wildwood Pattern Company licenses are non-exclusive.

A non-exclusive design may also be licensed to other businesses or offered by Wildwood Pattern Company on fabric, wallpaper, physical products, or through other commercial partnerships.

Purchasing a Standard, Extended, Textile, or Custom Commercial License does not prevent others from licensing the same artwork.

One License, One Business

Each commercial license applies to one individual or business entity.

Separate independent businesses may not share one license.

Employees, contractors, printers, and manufacturers working for the licensed business may access the artwork only when necessary to perform work on behalf of that business.

Licenses may not be transferred or assigned to another business without written permission from Wildwood Pattern Company.

Copyright & Ownership

All Wildwood Pattern Company artwork remains protected by copyright.

Purchasing a digital file or license does not transfer copyright, authorship, or ownership of the artwork.

Wildwood Pattern Company retains all rights not expressly granted under the applicable license.

Specific product listings or separately executed licensing agreements may contain additional terms. When applicable, those specific terms govern that particular use.
