Case intake

Send the first information needed
for a responsible image-use review

Before submitting

Please prepare the suspected URL, your original image or publication reference, any stock-platform record, license information, screenshots and the date you discovered the use.


You may also write directly to contact@atlantic-image-defense.com for general inquiries, or to copyright@atlantic-image-defense.com for copyright-related matters, image ownership claims, unauthorized use reports, or rights verification requests.

Responsible case intake

A complete submission begins with authority, source records and a precise description of the observed use

The intake form collects enough information for an initial review. Submission does not mean Atlantic has accepted the case, verified the allegation or agreed to send a notice.

  6. 06Declare accuracy
01

Minimum requester record

Provide accurate identity and contact information, relationship to the work and authority to act. Representatives should identify the rightsholder and provide the mandate, assignment, agency or estate record where applicable.

Pseudonyms and professional names can be recorded, but the underlying authority may still require confidential verification.

02

Minimum work record

Provide the original or best available source, internal or platform identifiers, creation or first-publication information, contributor records, registrations if any and known licensing history.

Do not alter metadata or manufacture documentation to strengthen a submission.

03

Observed use

Provide the full URL, discovery date, visible context, screenshots and an explanation of why the use appears outside known authorization. Identify uncertainty, prior contacts and any urgent risk of disappearance.

Multiple unrelated URLs should be organized rather than pasted without explanation.

04

Validation and next steps

The system checks required fields and file safety. A reviewer then assesses authority, completeness, conflicts and scope. The case may be accepted, returned for more information, classified as unsuitable or retained only as an informational record.

No external communication begins without the required human approval.

Legal and institutional references

These links point to official or institutional sources. Their inclusion does not mean that every text applies to every matter.

General information only. Atlantic does not issue judicial determinations, guarantee outcomes or replace counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
