Product identity

Product identity (PI) refers to any terminology or content that is specifically and explicitly barred from reproduction under the Open Game License, as opposed to Open Game Content, which may be redistributed under said license. Product identity typically includes, but is not limited to, all trademarks and copyrighted terms, artwork and illustrations, and other design elements such as trade dress and logos.

The term closed content is occasionally used as a synonym for Product Identity, usually by explicitly distinguish the open content in a work from the non-open content. The term "closed content" isn't used or defined in the OGL itself, though the meaning is naturally inferred from context.

Some publishers explicitly grant a limited use of terms that fall under the umbrella of Product Identity. For example, several publishers grant a limited license to use PI terms that appear in the names of specific OGC elements such as feats, spells, or magic items; in these cases, OGL-compliant works can use the full names of the relevant OGC elements (including the PI referenced in these names), but cannot use that PI in any other context.
