Authorised administrative response
Course copyright response
Finding a public listing is the easy part. The work that usually stalls inside an academy is deciding whether the match is real, whether the rights holder can stand behind a notice, which official route applies, and whether the location later disappeared or simply moved.
When response starts
Response is a paid service that follows a completed public-source audit and, typically, ongoing monitoring. It starts only when:
- the client has a legitimate connection to the named work;
- the rights inventory identifies the owner, official publication locations and relevant licences;
- a written authorisation-to-act names Rightsward’s permitted administrative activities; and
- a human reviewer has classified the public finding as suitable for a specific official route.
What Rightsward manages
Evidence before a form is opened
Each proposed notice is tied to a dated public record: URL, observation time, visible match rationale and remaining uncertainty. Incomplete or ambiguous pages are held rather than forced into a notice.
Route selection
Rightsward uses the official public process for the relevant platform or host. Route research is not an outcome. If the official path is unclear, the finding stays in review instead of being filed through a guess.
Human-reviewed notices
Notices include the statements and information required for that route. Automated notice blasting is not used. At launch, no notice is submitted without the approval process in the service agreement — item-by-item or an agreed standing approval for narrowly defined, verified matches.
Follow-up and verification
Submission dates, platform responses and follow-up actions are logged. A removal is recorded only after the known public location is checked again. Rejection, silence and contested material are reported as such.
What you receive
- A case record for each authorised notice: evidence, route, submission date and status.
- Weekly status on open, waiting, rejected and verified-closed items.
- Rechecks of known public locations after action.
- A pause and referral recommendation where legal interpretation, a counter-notice or litigation is required.
Founding protection includes up to five human-reviewed notices per month for one flagship course or a defined catalogue. Broader volume is quoted separately.
Hard limits
- Rightsward is not a law firm and does not give legal advice or represent clients in litigation.
- Platforms and hosts make their own decisions. Removal, timing and revenue recovery are not guaranteed.
- Private groups, passworded shares and access-control bypass remain outside the service.
- The client remains responsible for the accuracy of rights and ownership information it supplies.
- Lawful criticism, reviews, commentary and material the client does not control are not valid targets.
How to start
Request the free audit. If public findings and the rights position support action, Rightsward will set out the paid scope, the authorisation-to-act and the approval rule before any notice is prepared.
