Welcome
If you believe that an application or Search Ad available in the App Store violates your intellectual property rights, you can use this form to submit a claim to the App Store Legal Team. Please note: Apple does not investigate claims regarding branded terms used as Search Ads keywords. If you are looking for the form to submit a claim for any other type of content available on the iTunes Store, please visit here.
Apps on the App Store are made available by third party providers. Once you have identified the app and described the alleged infringement on the following pages, we will respond via email with a reference number and will put you in direct contact with the provider of the disputed app. Any further contact with the App Store Legal team should be made via email and should include the reference number in the subject line.
Select Disputed Content
The most accurate way to let us know exactly which app you are disputing is to provide a link to the app from the App Store. Alternatively, you may use the search tab below to search for the app at issue. If there is more than one app you wish to dispute, you will be able to add additional apps after completing the next step. Note that if an app is available on more than one platform (e.g. iPhone/iPad/Mac) you may need to identify each version.
If you choose the search option, the country name drop-down menu will allow you to search iTunes storefronts throughout the world. It is not necessary to select the same content in multiple countries. You will have the ability to specify all territories where you are disputing the app on the next page.
