1. Our Commitment to Intellectual Property
At Lobsterstar, we recognize that intellectual property is the lifeblood of innovation and creativity. Under the executive direction of Justin Daniel Hayes, we maintain a proactive and uncompromising stance against the infringement of copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. We operate in full alignment with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and broader international IP frameworks.
This protocol is designed to provide a transparent and efficient channel for rights holders to protect their assets on lobsterstar.com. Our compliance team in Norwalk, Iowa is dedicated to reviewing and resolving valid claims with the technical precision and urgency our brand represents.
2. Formal Infringement Notification
To file a formal claim, please deliver a written “Notice of Infringement” to our Designated Agent. For your claim to be legally actionable, it must include the following specifications:
Identification of the Protected Work: A comprehensive description of the copyrighted work, trademark, or patented design you claim is being infringed.
Digital Location: The exact URL(s) or digital path on the Lobsterstar platform where the material is hosted.
Claimant Information: Your full legal name, professional mailing address, telephone number, and an official email address for correspondence.
Authorization Statement: A formal declaration that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights owner.
Perjury Declaration: A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right.
3. Counter-Notification & Restoration
Lobsterstar respects the rights of our content contributors as well. If your material was removed due to a claim you believe is erroneous, you may submit a counter-notification. Upon receipt of a valid legal counter-notice, Justin Daniel Hayes and our legal desk may restore the content within 10-14 business days, unless the original claimant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking a restraining order.
4. Repeat Infringer Protocol
To ensure the long-term integrity of our platform, Lobsterstar enforces a strict policy for repeat offenders. We reserve the right to permanently terminate the accounts or access of any user who is repeatedly identified as a source of infringing content. We maintain a secure internal ledger of all DMCA actions to monitor compliance patterns.
5. Liability for Misrepresentation
Please exercise caution: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to significant liability, including damages and attorney’s fees incurred by Lobsterstar or the alleged infringer. We strongly advise consulting with legal counsel before submitting a formal claim.
