Inventions and circuits you do not own just because you used them

A gadget you wired in someone else’s room is not yours to republish as a product. Rebuild what you created. Credit what you borrowed. Leave branded circuits behind.

Openrooms can hold geometry and a page. It is not a laundering step for Rec Room store IP or another creator’s systems.

Local copies have a provenance

If the export is your room, bring it. If the screenshot is a tour of a famous map, it is a reference, not a kit you can ship.

Circuits versus a static archive already matters: logic often did not export. Do not invent ownership of a chip you cannot even open.

The audience can tell

Fans of a cloned mall will still look for the original name. Do not make that your growth plan. Make a room that works without the old brand.
