Intellectual Property Claim

At Kateyager, we operate on a foundation of intellectual honesty and professional integrity. We recognize the immense value of creative work—whether it’s the unique design of a Jumpsuit, the specific aesthetic of a Two-Piece Set, or the professional photography used to showcase our Outerwear.

This policy outlines how we protect our own Intellectual Property (IP) and the steps we take to respect the rights of others. If you believe your intellectual property has been used on kateyager.com without authorization, we provide a clear, standardized process for filing a claim.

1. Types of Protected Intellectual Property

To ensure clarity for our customers and partners, we categorize our IP into four primary areas:

IP Type What it Covers at Kateyager
Trademarks The "Kateyager" brand name, logos, and distinctive brand marks.
Copyright Original website text, product descriptions, and professional photography.
Design Rights The unique visual features, patterns, and silhouettes of our clothing.
Trade Secrets Our proprietary logistics management and supplier configurations.

2. How to File an Intellectual Property Claim

If you are a rights holder (or an authorized agent) and believe that content on our Site infringes upon your IP, please submit a formal Notice of Infringement to support@kateyager.com.

To be processed, your claim must include:

  1. Identification of the Rights Holder: Your full legal name or the name of the business entity that owns the IP.
  2. Description of the IP: A clear description of the work you claim is being infringed (e.g., "The floral textile pattern on the Summer Collection Dress").
  3. Location of Infringement: The specific URL(s) on kateyager.com where the material is located.
  4. Evidence of Ownership: A registration number (USPTO/Copyright Office) or a link to the original publication of the work.
  5. Contact Information: Your email address, physical mailing address, and telephone number.
  6. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a "good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law."

3. Our Review & Action Process

Once a valid claim is received, Kateyager follows a professional internal protocol:

  • Initial Review: We acknowledge receipt within 24–48 business hours.
  • Verification: Our legal team verifies the ownership of the claimed IP and the validity of the infringement.
  • Action: If the claim is valid, we will remove or disable access to the infringing material immediately.
  • Notification: We will notify the party responsible for the content (if applicable) and provide them with the details of the claim.

4. Counter-Notification Process

If content you provided was removed and you believe this was done in error or through misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notice. This must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake.
  • Your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in your location.

5. Protection of Kateyager Brand Assets

We take the unauthorized use of our own brand assets very seriously. Unauthorized reproduction of our product photography or the use of our "Kateyager" trademark to sell counterfeit Jeans & Denim or Dresses is strictly prohibited.

We proactively monitor global marketplaces and social media platforms to identify "look-alike" sites or unauthorized sellers. We will pursue all legal avenues to protect our brand's reputation and our customers' security.

6. Summary of IP Standards

  • Transparency: We provide clear paths for both claims and counter-claims.
  • Speed: We aim for a 48-hour response window on all IP-related inquiries.
  • Integrity: We do not tolerate "bad faith" takedown requests or the intentional use of pirated content.
