Originality, Jurisdiction, and IP Concerns

This design was independently developed in Europe based on publicly observable functional requirements, general tabletop design principles, and prior designs in the field. The CAD files, dimensions, implementation, and documentation in this repository are my own unless otherwise stated.

This project is inspired by the general concept of 3D-printable tabletop design. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or manufactured by StageTop or any other third party.

To the best of my knowledge, no European patent, registered design, or other European exclusive right covers this design. A U.S. patent or U.S. design patent may exist, but no rights are granted for making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing this design in the United States.

Users are responsible for checking whether making, using, modifying, selling, importing, or distributing this design is lawful in their own jurisdiction.

I respect valid intellectual property rights in the jurisdictions where they apply. However, rights are territorial. A patent, design patent, registered design, or similar right in one country does not automatically create rights in another country.

If you believe this project infringes a specific right, please provide:

1. The right asserted, including registration or application number.
2. The jurisdiction where that right is valid.
3. The rights holder or authorized representative.
4. The specific file, design feature, or documentation section at issue.
5. A short explanation of the alleged infringement.

Specific, good-faith claims will be reviewed. Vague copycat accusations, unsupported takedown requests, or claims based only on rights outside the relevant jurisdiction will not be treated as valid IP claims.
