Upon identifying instances of copyright infringement, DIPSSERVICE will take the necessary steps to protect the user’s IP. This includes generating and sending DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown notices to the infringing websites, social media platforms, or other digital entities.
DIPSSERVICE will work on behalf of the user to have the infringing content removed or disabled in accordance with DMCA guidelines. This process helps reduce the exposure of unauthorized content on the internet and assists users in reclaiming their intellectual property rights.
The company will send takedown notices on a user’s behalf unless the user opts to manually initiate the takedown process.
