App Review Guideline
5.2 Intellectual Property
The app uses content, names, logos or characters you don't have the rights to.
Why it happens
- Trademarks or brand names in the app name, icon, screenshots or keywords.
- Copyrighted media without a license.
- Apple product images or names used in a way Apple doesn't allow.
How to fix it
- Remove the protected material, or provide documentation that you have the rights (in the review notes or via Resolution Center).
What to reply in Resolution Center
After the fix is in the build you submit:
Hello App Review team, Thank you for the review of [app name] [version]. We removed [the protected material] / We have attached documentation showing our rights to [material]. We have submitted build [build number] with these changes. Please let us know if anything else needs attention. Best regards
