4.1 Copycat when use content from an API

Hi,


I've build an app who uses content from Wikia Fandom API.
The app display characters and episodes from Rick and Morty.


Of course I do not own the rights from Rick and Morty characters, but I can have the rights to use content who comes from Wikia API.

My App is free of charge and do note make any money of it.


How can my app be rejected for copycat reason ?


It's like IMDB was rejected because it's displaying movie poster and don't own the right of the show ?



Here the content of the rejection reason :

Your app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content.


Specifically, your app includes content that resembles “Rick and Morty” without the necessary authorization. It would be appropriate to remove all resembling content from the metadata.


What do you think about it ? How can can I change that ?

To be clear, my app screenshots, are in app screenshot displaying Rick and Morty characters.

If Wikia received rights from R & M, and specifically/legally extended those to you, you need to show that proof to Apple via an appeal in the resolution center.

You need to write back to Apple and explain that you have rights to use the Wikia Fandom API, and give them a copy of the licensing agreement (or a URL to it) and explain that the content comes from there.


Make sure that the Wikia Fandom API allows for thier content to be used via mobile apps, and highlight that to Apple.
