Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property
Hello, I'm publishing free IOS app with my own name and Individual account. The app use to control my DIY hardware via Bluetooth. I called the App and the Hardware it control with my own name "***". There are no trademark with that name registered. My app has been rejected with the following reply: Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property Your app includes content or features from "***", or is marketed to control external hardware from "***", without the necessary authorization. The inclusion of third-party content within your app, whether retrieved from the internet by the app or embedded in the app, is subject to the terms of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. Your app and its contents should not infringe upon the rights of another party. In the event your app infringes another party’s rights, you are responsible for any liability to Apple because of a claim. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect demonstrating authorization/ownership between "***" and "MyName". Once we have reviewed your documentation and confirmed its validity, we will proceed with the review of your app. Alternatively, please remove the third-party content from your app and its metadata. Please help. I don't know how to resolve this problem. How can I prove the "***" name belong to me or just a random name that I named they? Or how can I remove the "***" from my app because it's my App name? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
