DMCA Policy

Parker Sutherland respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, Parker Sutherland will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Parker Sutherland service and/or the Parker Sutherland website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to Parker Sutherland's Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Parker Sutherland's Designated Copyright Agent.

Filing a Notice of Copyright Infringement (DMCA Takedown Notice)

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, Parker Sutherland will remove or disable access to the infringing material. To be effective, the Notice must be in writing and contain the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Parker Sutherland to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Parker Sutherland 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Completed DMCA Takedown Notices should be sent to Parker Sutherland's Designated Copyright Agent at: dmca@parkersutherland.com

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.

Counter-Notification (Restoration of Content)

If you believe that the material removed or to which access was disabled is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a Counter-Notification to Parker Sutherland's Designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Parker Sutherland may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

Counter-Notifications should be sent to Parker Sutherland's Designated Copyright Agent at: dmca@parkersutherland.com

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be subject to liability for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
