The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a way to prevent someone from infringing on your mark or work without engaging in a lawsuit via what’s called a “DMCA takedown request”.

Filing a DMCA takedown request grants you the ability, as a copyright owner, to remove the work off a third-party’s website.

If you have received a DMCA takedown request and would like to respond, our team is also ready to help you prepare a DMCA counter-notice, which, if used properly, can be an effective tool for circumventing a DMCA takedown request.

Whether you are protecting your work against infringers or believe that you have been wrongfully accused of infringing, filing for or against a DMCA takedown request can be beneficial for the preservation of your work.
