Copyright Procedure

Welcome to the Copyright Procedure section of Michigan Documents Online. We take copyright seriously and are committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of creators and content owners. If you believe that your copyrighted material has been used without permission on our platform, we encourage you to follow the steps outlined below to submit a copyright infringement notice.

Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice

To initiate a copyright infringement claim, please prepare a written notice that includes the following information:

  • Your contact information: Provide your name, address, phone number, and email address.

  • Identification of the copyrighted work: Clearly describe the work you believe has been infringed upon. Include details such as title, author, and any registration numbers if applicable.

  • Location of the infringing material: Specify the URL or other location on our site where the infringing content can be found.

  • Statement of good faith belief: Include a statement asserting that you believe the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • Signature: Sign the notice, or if submitted electronically, provide an electronic signature.

Submitting Your Notice

Once you have prepared your notice, please send it via email to dmca@michigandocsonline.com. We will review your submission promptly and take appropriate action as required by law. It is important to note that submitting a false claim can have legal consequences.

Counter-Notice Process

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice should include:

  • Your contact information: Similar to the initial notice, provide your name, address, phone number, and email address.

  • Identification of the material: Describe the material that was removed or disabled and provide the URL or location where it appeared.

  • Statement of good faith belief: Assert that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification.

  • Signature: Sign the counter-notice, or provide an electronic signature if submitted electronically.

Review and Action

Upon receiving your counter-notice, we will review the information provided. If we determine that the counter-notice is valid, we may restore the material in question. All parties involved will be notified of the outcome, and we will comply with applicable laws throughout the process.
