Intellectual Property & Trademark Policy

Last updated: 5 September 2026

This Intellectual Property & Trademark Policy explains the ownership and permitted use of trademarks, copyright material and other intellectual property belonging to or licensed to Wrenegade Studios LTD.

We want people to be able to talk about, review and enjoy our games while also protecting the names, artwork, writing and other creative work that make those games distinct.

  • written game content;

  • rules text and explanations;

  • settings and worldbuilding;

  • characters;

Unless otherwise stated, this material is owned by Wrenegade Studios LTD or used by us under an appropriate licence.

3. Registered Trademarks

Wrenegade Studios LTD owns registered UK trademarks including:

Wrenegade Studios®

Wrenegade Studios® is a registered trademark of Wrenegade Studios LTD.

The mark is registered in connection with goods and services including those falling within:

  • Class 28; and

  • Class 41.

Beyond the Veil®

Beyond the Veil® is a registered trademark of Wrenegade Studios LTD.

The mark is registered in connection with goods including those falling within:

  • Class 16; and

  • Class 28.

Registration of a trademark provides legal protection in relation to the goods and services for which the mark is protected and other uses covered by applicable trademark law.

4. Other Trademarks and Brand Identifiers

Wrenegade Studios may also use unregistered trademarks and other distinctive brand identifiers.

These include:

Supernatural & Paranormal Society™

The ™ symbol indicates that a name, logo or other identifier is being used by Wrenegade Studios as a trademark but does not necessarily indicate that it is registered.

Other product names, logos, slogans, game systems, organisations or identifiers may also function as trademarks whether or not the ® or ™ symbol appears alongside them.

The absence of a trademark symbol should not be interpreted as a waiver of any rights that Wrenegade Studios may have in a name, logo or other identifier.

5. Copyright

Copyright protects original creative works produced by or for Wrenegade Studios.

This includes, where applicable:

  • books and game publications;

  • rules text;

  • adventures;

  • investigations;

  • fictional settings;

  • descriptive text;

  • website copy;

  • illustrations;

  • graphic artwork;

  • photographs;

  • maps;

  • diagrams;

  • layouts;

  • digital resources;

  • promotional material; and

  • other original literary or artistic works.

Copyright protection exists independently from trademark protection.

Purchasing a Wrenegade Studios product, downloading a free resource or accessing our website does not transfer ownership of copyright to you.

6. Personal Use of Our Products

Unless a product states otherwise, Wrenegade Studios products and downloads are provided for personal tabletop gaming use.

Subject to any licence accompanying a particular product, you may normally:

  • read and use a purchased product;

  • download purchased or free digital products to your own devices;

  • print copies for your own personal use;

  • use our rules and materials when running private tabletop roleplaying sessions;

  • print player-facing sheets or handouts where they are intended to be used in this way; and

  • refer to our games by name when discussing or recommending them.

This permission does not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.

7. Permitted Reference to Our Trademarks

You may use our trademarks where reasonably necessary to identify or refer accurately to Wrenegade Studios or one of our products.

For example, it is normally acceptable to state that:

  • you play Beyond the Veil;

  • a review concerns a Wrenegade Studios product;

  • an article discusses Beyond the Veil;

  • a video features gameplay using Beyond the Veil; or

  • a product or event is being discussed in editorial or commentary material.

Any such use must be accurate and must not falsely suggest that your work, website, business, event or product is:

  • produced by Wrenegade Studios;

  • officially licensed by Wrenegade Studios;

  • sponsored by Wrenegade Studios;

  • endorsed by Wrenegade Studios; or

  • otherwise officially affiliated with Wrenegade Studios.

8. Proper Use of Our Trademarks

Where practical, registered trademarks should be identified correctly when used in formal or commercial material.

Examples include:

Wrenegade Studios®
Beyond the Veil®
Supernatural & Paranormal Society™

You do not need to repeat the ® or ™ symbol every time a name appears in ordinary commentary.

You should not alter a trademark in a way that changes its meaning or creates confusion about its source.

9. Logos

Wrenegade Studios logos, Beyond the Veil logos and other official branding are protected intellectual property.

You may not use an official Wrenegade Studios logo in a way that suggests that your:

  • product;

  • publication;

  • website;

  • event;

  • business;

  • social media account;

  • merchandise; or

  • other material

is official, licensed, sponsored or endorsed by Wrenegade Studios unless we have given permission.

Press, reviewers and other media organisations may use approved assets made available through an official Wrenegade Studios press kit in accordance with any instructions supplied with those assets.

10. Reviews, Commentary and Journalism

We welcome discussion, reviews and commentary concerning our games.

Nothing in this policy is intended to prevent legitimate uses of our intellectual property that are permitted by law.

Reasonable use of limited material may be appropriate when necessary for purposes such as:

  • criticism;

  • review;

  • news reporting;

  • commentary;

  • discussion; or

  • identifying the product being discussed.

The amount used should be appropriate to the purpose.

This does not give permission to reproduce complete publications, substantial portions of our books, full downloadable products or collections of artwork.

11. Videos, Streams and Actual Play Content

You may refer to Wrenegade Studios games by name when creating videos, livestreams, podcasts or other content discussing or demonstrating gameplay.

This policy does not prohibit ordinary recording or streaming of people playing our games where doing so does not involve distributing substantial copyrighted material belonging to Wrenegade Studios.

You should avoid:

  • displaying complete pages for extended periods where viewers could use the recording as a substitute for purchasing the product;

  • distributing downloadable game files;

  • reproducing substantial quantities of rules or adventure text;

  • extracting and distributing our artwork;

  • implying that the production is an official Wrenegade Studios programme; or

  • using our logos as your own branding.

If you wish to use substantial Wrenegade Studios artwork, publications or other protected material within a production, please contact us for permission.

12. Spoilers and Published Adventures

We recognise that actual plays, reviews and discussions may involve published adventures and investigations.

You may discuss the events of a Wrenegade Studios adventure or investigation.

However, reproducing the complete written adventure, maps, handouts, artwork or other substantial material may infringe our intellectual property rights even where the storyline itself is being discussed.

Where practical, we encourage creators to identify content containing significant spoilers so that players can make an informed choice before viewing it.

13. Free Downloads

Some Wrenegade Studios products and resources are made available free of charge.

"Free" refers to the purchase price and does not mean that the material is free from copyright or other intellectual property rights.

Unless a resource contains a separate licence stating otherwise, you may not:

  • republish it;

  • sell it;

  • bundle it with another product;

  • upload it to another download service;

  • redistribute the original file publicly; or

  • claim it as your own work.

Where you wish to direct other people to a free Wrenegade Studios resource, please link them to the official Wrenegade Studios website or other official distribution page rather than redistributing the file yourself.

14. Character Sheets, Handouts and Play Aids

Certain Wrenegade Studios materials are specifically designed to be printed, duplicated or shared with participants during gameplay.

These may include:

  • blank character sheets;

  • investigation sheets;

  • reference sheets;

  • handouts;

  • player aids; and

  • similar resources.

Where the nature of the resource clearly requires copying for ordinary gameplay, you may make reasonable copies for your own gaming group.

This does not give permission to commercially reproduce, sell, republish or publicly distribute those materials.

Any broader permissions stated on the individual resource take priority over this section.

15. Commercial Use

You must obtain our permission before commercially exploiting Wrenegade Studios intellectual property unless your intended use is otherwise permitted by law or an applicable licence.

Examples that will generally require permission include:

  • selling products using our artwork;

  • publishing substantial parts of our game text;

  • producing merchandise displaying our logos;

  • selling reproductions of our illustrations;

  • creating commercial derivative publications based on protected Wrenegade Studios content;

  • using our branding to promote an unrelated business; or

  • licensing our intellectual property to another party.

Contact:

contact@wrenegadestudios.com

to discuss commercial licensing or permission.

16. Fan Content

We recognise that tabletop roleplaying games inspire people to create their own characters, stories, investigations and other material.

This policy does not establish a general licence for publishing or commercially distributing derivative material based on Wrenegade Studios intellectual property.

You remain free to create material for your own private games.

If you wish to publish, distribute or commercially exploit material that uses protected Wrenegade Studios intellectual property beyond what is permitted by law, please seek permission first.

We may introduce a separate Fan Content or Community Content Policy in the future that provides broader permissions for particular types of fan-created material.

If such a policy is introduced, its specific permissions will take priority for content falling within its scope.

17. Game Mechanics and Ideas

Intellectual property law distinguishes between protected creative expression and underlying ideas, systems or methods.

This policy is not intended to claim ownership over general concepts, ideas, genres or game mechanics where those things are not protected by intellectual property law.

However, the particular text, artwork, terminology, presentation, fictional material and other protected expression used by Wrenegade Studios may be protected even where it relates to a game rule or mechanic.

Nothing in this section gives permission to reproduce substantial portions of our written rules or publications.

18. Artificial Intelligence, Automated Extraction and Data Mining

Our website, publications, artwork and digital products are not made available for unrestricted automated extraction or reproduction.

Except where permitted by law or where we have provided written permission, you may not use automated systems to:

  • scrape substantial quantities of Wrenegade Studios content;

  • create or maintain unauthorised databases of our protected material;

  • systematically download our artwork or publications;

  • reproduce protected material for training or developing generative artificial intelligence systems; or

  • use our protected material to create datasets intended for machine-learning or generative-model training.

Nothing in this section restricts activities that applicable law expressly permits and which cannot lawfully be excluded.

Requests concerning data licensing, machine learning or other automated uses should be sent to:

contact@wrenegadestudios.com

19. Artwork

Artwork commissioned, created or licensed for Wrenegade Studios products is protected by copyright.

Ownership of individual works may depend on the agreement with the relevant artist.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, viewing artwork on our website or purchasing a product containing that artwork does not give you permission to:

  • reproduce the artwork;

  • use it in another publication;

  • sell prints or merchandise containing it;

  • remove it from a publication and redistribute it;

  • use it as branding for another product;

  • modify it and distribute the resulting work; or

  • present it as your own creation.

Permission relating to a particular artwork may need to involve Wrenegade Studios, the artist or another rights holder depending on ownership and licensing arrangements.

20. Third-Party Intellectual Property

Some Wrenegade Studios material may contain intellectual property owned by third parties and used by us under licence or with permission.

Our ability to use that material does not give us the right to grant unrestricted permission for somebody else to use it.

Where third-party ownership is identified, permission may need to be obtained directly from the relevant rights holder.

Third-party trademarks appearing on our website remain the property of their respective owners.

21. Press and Media Assets

We may make approved logos, images, product photography, descriptions or other materials available through an official press kit.

Materials specifically included in a Wrenegade Studios press kit may be used for legitimate editorial coverage of Wrenegade Studios and our products, subject to any conditions accompanying the press kit.

Unless otherwise stated, press-kit permission does not allow:

  • merchandise production;

  • resale of the assets;

  • use as another organisation's branding;

  • alteration that misrepresents our products;

  • sublicensing; or

  • use suggesting sponsorship or endorsement.

If you require an asset that is not included in our press materials, contact us.

22. Educational, Convention and Event Use

Referring to Wrenegade Studios products when running games, demonstrations, convention sessions or other events does not by itself require permission.

However, you must not describe an event as an official Wrenegade Studios event or use our branding in a way that implies official endorsement unless we have authorised it.

Commercial reproduction of our materials for an event may require separate permission.

23. No Implied Endorsement

Use of a Wrenegade Studios product does not create a partnership, agency, sponsorship or endorsement relationship with Wrenegade Studios.

You must not make statements or use branding that could reasonably cause people to believe that such a relationship exists where it does not.

24. Domain Names, Account Names and Business Names

You should not register or use a domain name, social media account, trading name, business name or other identifier that is likely to cause confusion with an official Wrenegade Studios brand or service.

In particular, you should not use our trademarks in a way that is likely to make users believe that an unofficial account, website or business is operated or authorised by Wrenegade Studios.

Legitimate fan accounts should make their unofficial status clear where there is otherwise a reasonable possibility of confusion.

25. Counterfeit and Unauthorised Products

You may not manufacture, sell, advertise or distribute counterfeit products bearing Wrenegade Studios trademarks or reproducing protected Wrenegade Studios material without permission.

If you believe you have encountered a counterfeit or unauthorised commercial reproduction of one of our products, you can report it to:

contact@wrenegadestudios.com

Please provide links, photographs or other relevant information where possible.

26. Requests for Permission

If you would like to use Wrenegade Studios intellectual property in a way not clearly permitted by this policy, please contact us before using it.

Email:

contact@wrenegadestudios.com

Your request should explain:

  • what material you want to use;

  • how you intend to use it;

  • where it will appear;

  • whether the use will be commercial;

  • how many copies or users are expected where relevant; and

  • any other information that may help us understand the proposed use.

Permission must be given in writing.

A lack of response should not be interpreted as permission.

27. Licences

Where Wrenegade Studios grants a specific licence or written permission, that licence may contain terms different from this general policy.

The specific licence takes priority in relation to the material and use that it covers.

A licence for one use does not automatically grant permission for other uses.

28. Reporting Possible Infringement

If you believe Wrenegade Studios intellectual property is being used without permission, please contact:

contact@wrenegadestudios.com

Where possible, include:

  • the material concerned;

  • where you found it;

  • a link or location;

  • screenshots or photographs where useful; and

  • any other relevant information.

We will review reports and determine what action, if any, is appropriate.

29. Enforcement

Wrenegade Studios reserves the right to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights where reasonably necessary.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • contacting the person responsible;

  • requesting that unauthorised material be removed;

  • requesting that an infringement cease;

  • seeking an appropriate licence or agreement;

  • using a platform's intellectual-property reporting process;

  • using mediation or another dispute-resolution procedure; or

  • taking legal action where appropriate.

We may choose how to respond to an infringement based on its nature, seriousness and circumstances.

Failure to take action in one particular instance does not mean that Wrenegade Studios has waived its intellectual property rights.

30. Rights Reserved

Except for the permissions expressly provided in this policy, Wrenegade Studios reserves all rights in its intellectual property.

Nothing in this policy transfers ownership of any trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right.

31. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Intellectual Property & Trademark Policy to reflect:

  • new games or products;

  • new trademarks;

  • changes to our licensing arrangements;

  • new community or creator programmes;

  • changes to applicable law; or

  • changes to the way our intellectual property is used.

The latest version will be published on our website.

The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
