5. Copyright Claim FAQ & Legal Dispute Process
What is protected?
The registered layout, user interface, and visual behavior of MicrocontentIO — specifically the expressive composition of elements including logo placement, ad refresh rhythm tied to interaction, and UI structure.
What should I do if I think I’ve been wrongfully accused?
If you believe your product is not derivative of MicrocontentIO’s protected work, contact us with a side-by-side visual comparison and a brief explanation of your design’s independent origin. We will review your claim in good faith.
How do disputes get resolved?
If informal resolution fails, legal disputes will follow the DMCA process or be handled under U.S. copyright and unfair competition laws. Jurisdiction will be governed by Israeli law and/or U.S. copyright court, depending on enforcement scope.
What’s the fastest way to handle takedowns?
Send a formal notice per Section 4 (DMCA Policy). If the infringing party hosts on platforms like GitHub, Webflow, or YouTube, you may report directly using the public registration document as evidence.
