Hello,
I am interested in TCG cards and decided to create an app. I developed an app related to Pokémon cards that provides brief information about the cards, allows users to scan their cards with AI, and includes a Portfolio page where users can view their own cards.
However, the app was rejected with the reason "4.1.0 Design: Copycats" from the review team. After this, I reviewed published apps and added a disclaimer to the description, but my issue still persists.
The most recent response from the review team was essentially as follows: "You need to remove elements from your app's metadata, such as names and screenshots, that may infringe on brand usage." However, it is not feasible for me to present the purpose of the app without these elements.
Pokémon does not grant licensing for such use, and my intention was not to compete with Pokémon but to create a simple, user-friendly app for Pokémon fans.
If anyone with experience in this matter could provide assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.
