FAQ
You designed a garment — by hand or with AI. A professional pattern maker drafts the industrial pattern, you approve a render, and production is ordered on the same platform.
Who owns the pattern?
You do. You approve on a render, then the pattern and tech pack are delivered to you. And if you order production, the platform sends the file set straight to the workshop — nobody copies your design along the way.
Are my AI-generated images accepted?
Yes — that's the heart of the service. The only rule: an original design, drawn or generated, never a copy of an existing garment. You certify it when posting.
What if I don't like the render?
Three revisions are included, each with a written reason so the pattern maker knows what to fix. Beyond that, a team-arbitrated dispute settles it — and your payment stays in escrow until you approve.
How do pattern makers get paid?
Their net is shown before they accept, payment is escrowed before they start, and released on your approval. No unpaid work, no haggling.
How long does a pattern take?
Depending on complexity, a few days to two weeks. You follow progress live: in progress, almost done, delivered.
Can I produce outside your workshops?
The production file travels through the platform — that's our model, and your protection. Partner workshops reply with comparable quotes, and you choose freely among them.
Who legally owns a design?
The Patterngain rule is contractual and simple: the pattern and tech pack belong to the designer who paid for them. Around that rule, design law exists, gets registered — and gets copied a lot. Here is what the institutions say.
- In the EU, a disclosed design is automatically protected for 3 years with no filing; registered at the EUIPO, for 5 years renewable up to 25 (Regulation EC 6/2002).EUR-Lex — Règlement (CE) n° 6/2002, art. 11-12 ↗
- EU design filings keep breaking records: 110,484 at the EUIPO in 2025, up from 98,521 in 2023.EUIPO — Statistics for EU Designs ↗
- Textiles and accessories are the world's top design-filing sector: 17.3% of the 1.19 million applications of 2023 (WIPO).WIPO — World IP Indicators 2024 ↗
