Etsy Infringements: How They Work
In order to assure Etsy Sellers are not infringing on each others goods, Esty.com has implemented an Intellectual Property Policy.
If you believe someone is infringing upon your work, their procedure requires you to submit a claim that provides details of the alleged infringement. If the claim submitted appears valid, Etsy.com will notify the alleged infringer by sending a DMCA take down notice (aka the Digital Millenium Copyright Act). The alleged infringing items will then be taken off the alleged infringer’s Shop by Etsy.com.
We Can Help you If:
- You have received a DMCA take down notice and believe that you have received it in error – we can file a counter-notice pursuant to and in compliance with the DMCA.
- You have identified another Seller infringing upon your work and are having trouble getting your claim validated by Etsy.com – we can set up a free consultation with an attorney who can assess your potential claim.
- You want to formally protect your Etsy creations with copyright registration or your brand with trademark registration – one of our attorneys can help you.
