Do not submit an intellectual property claim:

  • To harass another person
  • To interfere with legitimate competition
  • To make knowingly false statements
  • To claim rights you do not own
  • To misrepresent your legal authority
  • To improperly remove lawful content

Fraudulent or materially misleading claims may result in rejection of the request and may expose the claimant to legal liability.

Depending on the jurisdiction, these may include concepts such as:

  • Fair use

  • Descriptive use
  • Commentary
  • Criticism
  • Other statutory exceptions

The existence and scope of these exceptions depend on applicable law and specific facts.

21. No Admission of Liability

Reviewing, removing, restricting, or retaining disputed material does not necessarily constitute:

  • An admission of infringement
  • An admission of liability

Actions may be taken as a practical measure while rights and disputes are evaluated.
