Report Copyright or Trademark Infringement by Mozilla

Updated 9 December 2025

This document outlines the process for reporting copyright or trademark infringement to Mozilla, following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) procedures. It details what information a copyright or trademark owner needs to provide in a notice, where to send it, and what happens next. It also explains how an alleged infringer can file a counter-notification if they believe their content was removed in error.

Report Copyright or Trademark Infringement

Copyright Notices

If you are a copyright owner, or agent of the owner, and believe that content available by means of one or more of Mozilla’s services infringes one or more of your copyrights, please email/send/fax us a notice containing the information below (“DMCA Notice”).

How do you file a DMCA Notice?

Your DMCA Notice must include all of the following information:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;

An identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim have been infringed;

A description of the nature and location of the work(s) that you claim to be infringing, with enough detail that we can locate the work(s) (for example, the URL(s) where the work(s) are located);

Your name, address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you;

A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

A statement that the information in your DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Where do you send the DMCA Notice?

The quickest way to report suspected infringement is to submit this form. If you prefer, you can email [email protected]. You may also send notices to:

Mozilla
Attn: Mozilla’s Designated DMCA Agent
149 New Montgomery St.
4th Floor
San Francisco, CA 94105

Mozilla’s Designated Agent’s phone is +1 650-903-0800.

What happens after sending the DMCA Notice?

If the Notice complies with the requirements of the DMCA, we will remove or disable access to the content that is allegedly infringing. We will make a good faith attempt to notify the alleged infringer of the takedown, with a copy of your DMCA Notice. We also may send a copy of your DMCA Notice to Lumen or post to our wiki page.

Note: You can be held liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees, if certain material misrepresentations are contained in your DMCA Notice. Consult an attorney before filing a DMCA Notice if you are unsure if your copyrights have been infringed.

What happens if you receive a DMCA Notification?

If you believe your content was removed in error, you can file a counter notification with the information below (“DMCA Counter Notification”).

Note: You can be held liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees, if certain material misrepresentations are contained in your DMCA Counter Notification. Consult an attorney before filing a DMCA Counter Notification if you are unsure if your material was removed in error.

Mozilla has a policy of terminating repeat infringers. If your account receives multiple copyright complaints, we may terminate your account.

How do you file a DMCA Counter Notification?

Your DMCA Counter Notification must include all of the following information:

Your physical or electronic signature;

Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (the description from the DMCA Notice is acceptable);

A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

Your name, address, and telephone number; and

A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Mozilla may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.

What happens after sending the DMCA Counter Notification?

Upon receipt of a valid Counter Notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the person who filed the original DMCA Notice. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the person who submitted the DMCA Notice is seeking a court order to prevent the infringement of the content at issue, we will replace or re-enable access to the content that was removed.

Trademark Notices

If you are a trademark owner, or agent of the owner, and believe that content available by means of one or more of our services infringes one or more of your trademarks, please send us a notice containing the information requested for a DMCA Notice as described above. We deem this to be a “Trademark Notice” and will handle reports of trademark violations in Trademark Notices similarly to the process described above for copyright violations.
