Copyright and intellectual property

Ownership

© 2024–2026 J. Donavon Love, under the Cradlepoint Studio name. Unless a written agreement says otherwise, original Cradlepoint rules text, fiction, Needlepoints, art direction, marketing materials, and Studio site copy are copyrighted creative works associated with the studio’s founder. Copyright arises when an eligible original work is fixed; the 2024 date reflects the first Cradlepoint novel draft, while later works retain their own creation and publication histories. Formal entity assignment documents, when executed, are shared during relevant diligence—not invented on this page.
