Twilight, owned by Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate, protects the franchise name, character names, and distinctive imagery. Despite the franchise being older, enforcement continues due to ongoing fan interest.
What You Can Do
- ✓ Sell authentic licensed or vintage Twilight merchandise you have purchased
- ✓ Reference Twilight in tags for genuinely compatible or related accessories
- ✓ Create original artwork that does not copy any protected imagery or logos
- ✓ Describe handmade items with generic genre terms rather than the franchise name
What You Cannot Do
- ✗ Use Twilight names, logos, or character imagery on unlicensed products
- ✗ Sell fan art that reproduces specific Twilight characters, scenes, or logos
- ✗ Include Twilight in listing titles or tags for items that are not officially licensed
- ✗ Claim or imply affiliation with the Twilight franchise or its rights holders
Safe Alternatives
- → Create original fantasy, sci-fi, or genre artwork that does not reference the franchise
- → Use descriptive themes (e.g., "wizard school", "space opera") instead of franchise names
- → Design original characters or worlds inspired by the genre, not by Twilight specifically
