Reporting Instances of Intellectual Property Violations

For copyright or trademark concerns about search results powered by Bing (including, but not limited to, Sponsored Listings and Ads results), please click on the relevant sections under Resources to contact Microsoft directly.

If you believe that work residing or accessible on or through Yahoo’s Services infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement to Yahoo's Agent for Notice with the following information (your “Notice”):

1. Identification of the work or material that you claim has been infringed. If this material exists online, please provide a URL.
2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including its location on the Yahoo network, with sufficient detail so that Yahoo is capable of finding the material and verifying its existence (e.g., in most circumstances, we will need a URL).
3. Contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or law.
5. A statement by you that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
6. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

You may also submit a notice in accordance with the DMCA via our online form:

If you are asserting infringement of a trademark please follow the same procedure above for a Notice, and, if applicable, include your registration and/or application number(s) pertaining to your trademark. Accounts or subscribers that are the subject of a trademark notice may submit an appeal to Yahoo's Designated Agent, along with any relevant materials you would like Yahoo to consider.

If your complaint relates to counterfeit activity, visit the following page: https://policies.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/ip/counterfeits/index.html.

Yahoo may forward a copy of a Notice including name and email address to the subscriber or account holder in order to notify that person, or may forward a copy of a Notice (with personally identifiable information removed) to the Chilling Effects website (http://www.chillingeffects.org) for publication. Any subscriber or account holder may ask for a copy of any Notice, although Yahoo may make certain redactions to eliminate irrelevant or personally identifying information. Yahoo will terminate, under appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers, and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate any user for actual or apparent infringement of intellectual property rights.

If you have received a copyright warning from Yahoo, please visit the Counter Notification page for more information on filing a counter notification.
