DMCA Notice Procedure

Welcome to the Connecticut PDF Forms website, where we are committed to respecting intellectual property rights and adhering to the stipulations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe an infringement has occurred within our digital domain, this dedicated space is designed to guide you through our DMCA Notice Procedure, ensuring a straightforward and efficient process for addressing your concerns.

Understanding the DMCA Notice Procedure

The DMCA provides a legal framework for owners of copyrighted material to report when their intellectual property has been illegally reproduced and displayed online. At Connecticut PDF Forms, we take these matters seriously and have established a streamlined process for the submission of complaints, or "notices," by copyright owners or their authorized agents.

How to Submit a DMCA Notice

To report suspected copyright infringement, the copyright owner or their authorized agent should provide a notification containing the following information:

  • A physical or digital signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

  • A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send your DMCA Notice, including all of the information outlined above, to our designated agent via email at dmca@connecticutformspdf.com. Upon receipt of a valid claim, Connecticut PDF Forms will act promptly to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will take reasonable steps to inform the alleged infringer of the claim.

Response to DMCA Notices

After receiving a notice that complies with the DMCA's requirements, Connecticut PDF Forms will take the necessary action to address the infringement, as outlined above. The alleged infringer will be notified and will have the opportunity to provide a counter-notification if they believe the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. All parties are encouraged to engage with the process in good faith, understanding that claims of infringement and counter-claims have significant legal implications.
