Report IP infringement

If you believe that Meta Quest content is infringing on your intellectual property rights, please fill in this form:

The law in most countries recognises copyrights as well as trademarks. Copyright law and trademark law serve two different purposes.

Copyright⁠ is meant to foster creativity and to provide incentives to create original works of authorship for the benefit of the public. Copyright protects original works such as photos, videos, films and music. It’s also important to note that, in the US, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) only applies to copyrights and doesn’t apply to trademarks.

Trademark⁠ law is meant to prevent consumer harm because it prohibits someone other than the rights owner from using a trademark (for example, a brand’s logo) in a way that may confuse consumers. Trademark law protects brand names, slogans, logos or other symbols that help consumers identify the source of goods or services.

Meta complies with the notice-and-takedown procedures set out in section 512(c) of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which applies to content reported and removed for violating US copyrights.

If your content is removed under the DMCA, you’ll receive instructions about how to file a counter-notification in the message that we send you. You should only submit a counter-notification if the content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification. Please note that if your content was removed for reasons unrelated to a copyright report, you may not receive a response from us.

When we receive a valid DMCA counter-notification, we forward it to the party that reported the content. The information that they receive includes your contact information, which they can use to contact you.

If we provide your counter-notification to the party that reported the content, and they don’t notify us that they have filed a court action seeking an order to keep the content down, we will restore or cease disabling eligible content under the DMCA. This process can take up to 14 working days. Please note that in rare instances, we may not be able to restore content due to technical limitations. If this happens, we’ll send you an update letting you know that you may repost the content at your discretion.

Content that is restored based on a valid DMCA counter-notification will not be counted against you under our repeat infringer policy.
