Each challenge declares an IP model (for example, "Company owns winning design after award", exclusive license, non-exclusive license, or a custom agreement). The declared model is shown to solvers before they submit.
Unless a challenge states otherwise, rights in the winning design transfer or are licensed to the posting company upon payment of the award, per the declared IP model.
Solvers retain ownership of designs that are not selected, unless the challenge explicitly states otherwise. Companies must not use non-winning designs beyond evaluation.
Solvers represent that their submissions are their original work and do not infringe third-party rights, and that any third-party tools, models, or templates used are properly licensed and cited.
