Thank you for using our web form. We acknowledge receipt and will process your claim shortly. Upon processing, we will contact you further, as well as contacting the developer of the disputed app if appropriate……(感谢您使用我们的web表单。我们已收到您提交的信息,稍后我们会处理你的请求。处理之后,我们将进一步与您以及涉及侵权的 那方联系……)之后,苹果官方还会发送一份带有投诉编号的邮件。建议大家好好回复一下这封邮件,将侵权内容详细描述一下,并提供一些证明对方侵权行为的材料。 与此同时,侵权方也会收到苹果的邮件,大体内容如下:
On x/x/2016, we received a notice from xxx that Complainant believes the app listed below infringes its.…..In particular …… Please see their comments below. (在2016年x月x日,我们收到了来自xxx的通知:权利方认为下面列出的这一应用软件侵犯了他们的.…..具体地.…..,意见如下) Developer(开发者): xxx Provider(供应商): xxx App Title(应用名称): xxx Apple ID(应用ID): xxx Comments from Complainant(投诉事由):…… You can reach Complainant through xxx(email:xxxx), copied on this email. Please exchange correspondence directly with Complainant. (本邮件抄送的xxx(邮箱:xxx)为权利方代表,请与其直接沟通。) We look forward to receiving written assurance that your application does not infringe Complainant’s rights, or that the parties are taking steps to promptly resolve the matter. Please keep us apprised of your progress.(我们希望收到书面担保来证明该应用并没有侵害权利方的各项权益,或者当事双方正在积极采取措施来解决这个问题。请及时将最新进展通知 我们。) Please note that during the course of this matter(在这个过程中,请注意): 1.Correspondence to Apple must include the reference number noted above in the subject line and copy the other party. All correspondence sent to Apple may be shared with the other party.(请务必在与邮件标题栏上注明上文提到的参考码并抄送给另一方。发送给苹果公司的所有邮件可能会被转发给另一方。) 2. Written assurance of rights may include confirmation that your application does not infringe Complainant’s rights, an express authorization from Complainant, or other evidence acceptable to Apple, and should include documentation wherever possible.(书面担保需要包括:确认应用程序不侵犯权利方权利、权利方的明确授权或其他苹果公司可以接受的证据,并且应该包括相关的文档。) 3. Should you choose to remove your application, visit iTunes Connect at……(如需自行将应用下架,请按如下指示进行……) 4. Developers with a history of allegations of repeat infringement, or those who misrepresent facts to Apple and/or the Complainant are at risk of termination from the Developer Program.(如开发者屡次违纪或在沟通中歪曲事实,苹果有权冻结开发者账号。) 5. Failure to respond to the Complainant or to take steps toward resolving a dispute may lead to removal of the app(s) at issue as in violation of the App Store Review Guidelines and/or the iOS Developer Program License Agreement. Please keep Apple apprised of your progress.(未能及时回应或积极采取措施来解决问题,可能导致应用下架——因违反App Store审查指南/iOS开发者计划协议。所以,请保持和苹果的通知同步。)可 以看出,苹果发给对方的邮件中的第4项和第5项相当有威慑力,所以,对方一般不会不给回应。而这之后,就是双方的“撕逼”拉锯战了。在多轮邮件往来之后, 如果对方很快停战侵权行为,苹果核实情况后一般不会做出处罚。如果侵权事实成立,且对方置之不理,苹果可能会将应用做下架处理。 写在最后的话 App 在各大应用商店中的竞争越来越激烈,侵犯品牌词的行为防不胜防。如果发现类似侵权行为,大家可以考虑上面的方式进行维权。而在投诉的过程,一些细节能帮我 们增加胜算,例如,邮件拉锯战时,将邮件抄送苹果,让苹果帮忙监督对方的行动;如果英语水平不错,回复邮件时,提供中英文内容(当然,如果英文实在不行, 用中文描述侵权行为也是可以的)。 此外,如果碰到版权、商标、宣传、关键词及其他侵权行为,也可以利用上述投诉通道进行,相信苹果的法律团队会给你个合理的结果。
