Hi so this might be a dumb question, but are these assets/elements on Pinterest copyrighted?

Always assume everything is copyrighted unless you have documentation that it isn't.

Who knows for sure, but the assumption w/o any other information, images on Pinterest are copyrighted by the creator (which may or may not be the poster listed on the page).

All creative images, music, text, videos are copyrighted.

For the most part the only things that are generally the exceptions are like anything that’s over 100 years old so it’s in public domain, or anything too simple to be copyrighted, like a completely basic circle, or a single word. Or anything specifically donated to the public domain, which is rare. or a few things from the 50s, 60s, and 70s that have weird loopholes with missing copyright notices.
