According to the law, intellectual property is a set of legal principles that protect the results of human ingenuity: it includes brands, symbols, logos, images and names. The main intellectual property rights (copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial designs and geographical indications) are internationally recognized as subjects of law. However, their protection is largely entrusted to national legislation.

Intellectual property infringement can have serious civil and criminal consequences for those who commit it and can lead to commercial, and therefore economic, damage for companies. It occurs when unauthorized parties use or violate the intellectual property rights of others. There are different types of violation: of copyright, of rights relating to trademarks and counterfeiting, of patents or of the right to a person's image. More specifically, in the online world, it can concern brand impersonation, copyright infringements due to the huge sharing of pirated content online, product design imitations (or counterfeiting), domain name disputes, infringements of patents.  

Our protection solutions are designed to provide you with full visibility of online threats and possible applicable enforcement actions: our monitoring services collect data that provides valuable insights to make informed business decisions, from the selective distribution system to your online brand reputation . Furthermore, a non-secondary advantage is the protection of the online consumer which ultimately improves customer loyalty.

In the notification that was delivered to you, the motivation is included, in any case it is probable that you have published content without authorization. We advise you in the future to be careful not to violate the Terms of Use of the site you are using.

It is always possible to request the withdrawal of the notification of infringement. The request can be made by following the procedures indicated by the internet platform on which the violation occurred or by contacting us directly. To proceed, it is necessary to document the authorization to use the intellectual property being reported.

In cases where a user does not have permission to the content they have uploaded, the removed content cannot be restored. We also suggest paying attention to the platforms' Terms of Service, there may be procedures that penalize users in the event of multiple reports which also lead to the removal of the entire account.

DcP requires the removal of the individual contents (URL) on which the violation can be found, unless it is a report of identity theft (e.g. brand impersonation). DcP, therefore, is not directly involved in choosing the conditions that lead to the closure or suspension of accounts, which remains at the discretion of the platform. We therefore advise you to read the Terms of Service provided by the platform and to contact it directly.
