Summary: If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed, this article will help you submit a DMCA Takedown Notice or a General IPR Notice to us, for the content to be removed from Envato’s sites.

How to submit a valid DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe someone is using your copyrighted content without permission, you can use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) process by sending us a DMCA takedown notice. As the service provider of the Envato platforms, we act promptly when we receive valid DMCA takedown notices.
Please make sure you understand what rights you are claiming before you submit a DMCA takedown notice because it is a serious legal document. Consider whether you need legal advice. It's really important not to make false claims as this could have serious legal consequences.
If the DMCA takedown notice is not in a valid format we will ask you to resubmit with the missing information.
For us to action a DMCA takedown notice, it must be in a valid format, which means it must include the information set out at points 1-5 below.
We have to send this DMCA takedown notice to the other person, which means your details will be passed to them. The other person, who is the Author of the item you have identified, can submit a DMCA counter-notification if they disagree with your DMCA takedown notice, and they might contact you directly using your contact details.
The content in the Author’s item in question will generally be disabled from Envato when we receive a DMCA takedown notice. If we receive a counter-notification and you have not confirmed to us that you've filed court proceedings against the Author within 10 business days, we will re-enable the content within 14 business days of receiving the counter-notification. If you have any further questions please visit our DMCA FAQ page.
What to consider if you have received a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you receive a DMCA takedown notice, you can consider whether you think the claims made in the notice are valid. You might choose to seek legal advice, especially if you're not sure whether there is any legal validity to the claim.
How to submit a Counter Notice
Please take care to understand this process because it is possible that the claimant can take legal action against you if you file a counter-notification. If you have any further questions please visit our DMCA FAQ page.
It's really important not to make a false claim, as this could have serious legal consequences. Please seek your own advice if you're not sure about what the counter-notification process means.
If the DMCA counter notification is not in a valid format we will ask you to resubmit with the missing information.
For us to action a DMCA counter notification it must be in a valid format, which means it must include the information set out in the points below. There is an example template for your reference:
By law, you need to sign and date your notice either with a digital or physical signature. If you send us the information via Envato Support, please state SIGNED followed by your full name. If you want to sign a physical document you'll need to scan the document and attach it to the help ticket.
We'll send a copy of the DMCA counter-notification to the person who sent the DMCA takedown notice (claimant), then wait 10 business days. Unless the claimant sends us a notice that court proceedings have been filed against you within the 10 business days, we'll then reinstate the content within 14 business days from when we received the counter-notification.
How to submit a General IPR Notice
As the DMCA process only applies to copyright, we have a similar process for other claims (General IPR Notices). If you believe that an Author’s item on Envato Elements is using content that is protected by another form of IPR (not copyright), such as a trademark, we ask you to send us a General IPR Notice that contains the detailed information set out below. We’ve set out an example template which you can use, see GENERAL IPR NOTICE TEMPLATE.
We will respond appropriately depending on what your claim is about. We may ask for more information and send a copy of your claim to the Author. The Author might contact you directly using the details you've provided.
What to consider if you have received a General IPR Notice or another type of complaint
Complaints about the use of IPRs can cover a wide range of issues. If we send you a general IPR notice or tell you that another type of complaint has been made, we'll generally ask you some specific questions about the complaint and the content or let you know what else is needed.

This article runs through some frequently asked questions about DMCA takedown notices. You can find answers you might have concerning submitting a DMCA takedown notice with an Author’s item and what to do as an Author when receiving a DMCA takedown notice. If you need further assistance please contact iconicKODES Marketplace Help.
Our approach to DMCA takedown notices and the process followed is outlined in our iconicKODES Marketplace Intellectual Property Policy.
If you believe that an Author’s item on iconicKODES Marketplace is infringing your intellectual property rights (including trademark) then you can submit a General IRP Notice to us.
I think there may be an infringement of my copyright. What should I do?
Consider whether contacting the Author is appropriate. There may be a misunderstanding that you can solve without resorting to the formal processes outlined in the iconicKODES Marketplace Intellectual Property Policy.
Can you give me the contact details of the Author who I claim violated my copyright?
Our iconicKODES Marketplace Authors can be contacted through our system by any registered user. It is free to register and the link to an Author’s profile page and contact form can be found on each page listing their item(s).
The iconicKODES Marketplace Author hasn’t responded to my request or is refusing to remove the content that I think violates my copyright. What now?
You have the option of submitting a DMCA takedown notice to our Customer Success Team. You can find out how to lodge a valid DMCA takedown notice in the iconicKODES Marketplace Intellectual Property Policy.
Why do I need to send a DMCA takedown notice?
Only a relevant judicial authority can rule definitively about whether an item infringes copyright. iconicKODES is not able to do so. Our role is as the service provider of the iconicKODES Marketplace platform. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will remove the item from our platform.
Why does the Author who uploaded the item receive a copy of the notice?
A valid DMCA takedown notice should be addressed to the Author of the item identified in the DMCA takedown notice. We pass on the notice to the Author. On receipt of the DMCA takedown notice, the Author may wish to resolve the matter with the complainant or take further steps such as lodging a counter-notification. See more information here.
What if the DMCA takedown notice relates to a component of an item?
If the DMCA takedown notice relates to a specific component of an item, the Author might replace that component, after which the item might be reinstated without a counter-notification being filed (as it is no longer the subject of the DMCA takedown notice).
There are potentially serious consequences to filing DMCA takedown notices, particularly inaccurate ones. Obtain your legal advice as necessary. Do not make false claims, as these could result in penalties for legal damages.
I do not agree that there has been a copyright violation. Can the item be reinstated?
An Author on iconicKODES Marketplace has the option to send iconicKODES a counter-notification or “put back” notice.
For more information about lodging a counter-notification see the iconicKODES Marketplace Intellectual Property Policy. If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will send a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA takedown notice (claimant), and then wait 10 business days. Unless we receive a notice from the claimant that they have filed a court proceeding against the Author within that time, we will then reinstate the item within 14 business days from when we received the valid counter-notification.
Authors should fully understand the obligations they have by submitting a counter-notification because a counter-notification can trigger legal proceedings from the claimant about the alleged copyright infringement. Obtain legal advice if unsure about this option.
There may be other situations in which the item can be reinstated, such as where the material in dispute can be removed altogether from the item (e.g. it is one stand-alone component within the item). In such a situation, it may be possible for the Author to replace the disputed material before re-submitting the item. In that case, the Authors would not need to send a counter-notification. For more information on this please contact iconicKODES Marketplace Help.
If I’m an Author, how can I unfreeze earnings or have my account reinstated?
Release of frozen earnings will occur at our discretion. For example, if the person issuing the notice retracts the allegations, if we’re compelled to do so by a binding order issued by a relevant judicial authority, or under a relevant agreement settling the dispute.
Account reinstatement is also discretionary as we do not want Authors on our Marketplaceplace who do not respect intellectual property rights. We will not reinstate accounts of Authors who have received multiple DMCA takedown notices in a valid format (where counter notifications have not been lodged).
