hi guys,
love the idea here. a lot of requests came in for a mat like this with panels, but i never got around to dedicating the time to make it up. i did do a lot of research on this design though.
the design on this mat is SUPER similar to this on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Click-Play-Non-Slip-Playmat-Large/dp/B07DLCTLRZ
that design is def copywritten.
i'd suggest making some adjustments to further differentiate it from the above design on amazon! glwic! love to see this turn into something great.

The copyright issue is something that was heavily researched and finding any info on IP regarding this design is very hard. Design has been around forever at this point and finding the original owner of the IP is near impossible, furthermore it's printed on literally everything at this stage so chasing it up leads to dead ends everywhere.
I'll research click n play, but I'd be very surprised if they're the original owner of the copyright. They're certainly not the only brand selling this exact design, other brands such as "Something Different" for example.
Whoever the copyright holder is, if they're still around, doesn't seem that interested in protecting it. Lots of products are available with this print available on it, plenty of them selling from within countries with respect to copyright too.
That said I definitely appreciate the feedback and the extra lead to research. Thank you for that.
