There are several key elements discussed in this policy:

​

Framework of the DMCA

The host is required to remove or disable access to any potentially infringing content by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") laws upon on receiving a notice that meets certain criteria.  Willow Pathway, Inc. complies with the notices alleging copyright infringement pursuant to the DMCA.  

​

Requirements for submitting a copyright/trademark infringement notice​

Section 512 of the DMCA enlists the criteria for reporting a copyright violation and submitting counter-notification by an affected party.  Willow Pathway, Inc., adopts similar framework to the allegations of trademark infringement.  It will send a copy of each notice to the alleged infringer, if applicable.    

​

2. Describe the location of the materials that you claim have been infringed, in sufficient details.  A good example will be, "We believe what is infringed is the photo on http:///www.productco.com".  The infringed copyright/trademark work must be specifically described.  For copyright, please identify and describe the infringed work, including, but not limited to, its location, content, and details.  For trademark rights, please provide the national or community trademark registration and any applicable registration number, the country or jurisdiction, and the description of goods and/or services.

Submitting a copyright/trademark infringement notice
