Copyright Notice and Takedown (DMCA)

Last updated: 2026-05-27

SGEN responds to clear and complete notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and analogous laws in other jurisdictions.

This page describes how to send a takedown notice, how to send a counter-notice, and what we do when we receive one.

This page supplements Section 9 of the Terms of Service.

How to submit a takedown notice

Send DMCA takedown notices to legal@sgen.com with subject line "DMCA Notice — [site URL]".

Include all of the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  1. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  3. Identification of the material that is infringing, with enough detail to locate it
  4. Your contact information (mailing address, telephone, email)
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
Notices that do not meet all six requirements may not be actionable.

For status of SGEN's designated agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, contact legal@sgen.com.

What we do when we receive a complete notice

  1. Acknowledge. We acknowledge receipt to the notifier and the affected customer.
  2. Remove or disable access. We remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
  3. Notify the customer. We send the customer a copy of the notice and inform them of the action taken.
  4. Forward counter-notice (if any). If the customer sends a counter-notice that meets the legal requirements, we forward it to the notifier.
  5. Restore. If the notifier does not file a court action within 10 to 14 business days of receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed material.

How to send a counter-notice

If you believe your material was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, send a counter-notice to legal@sgen.com with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice — [site URL]".

Include all of the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SGEN may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the notifier or its agent.

Repeat infringers

It is our policy to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees.

Other jurisdictions

If you are reporting infringement of rights protected under a law other than the DMCA — for example, EU Article 17, UK CDPA — write to legal@sgen.com with the equivalent information.
We assess such notices on the facts and the applicable law.

Safe-harbor notice

This page describes SGEN's DMCA takedown procedure.
Designating an agent and following the procedure does not, by itself, immunize SGEN or any user from liability.
