Ads may not contain content that violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark or other legal rights. This includes, but is not limited to, the promotion or sale of counterfeit goods, such as products that copy the trademark (name or logo) and/or distinctive features of another company’s products to imitate a genuine product.
Ads may be rejected or removed after being reported to us by an intellectual property rights holder or because there are signs that the ad may infringe the rights of a third party. Although without an intellectual property report from an affected rights holder we cannot know with certainty whether an ad infringes on someone’s rights, we take action to protect people and businesses from potentially infringing content.
To report an ad that you feel may infringe upon your intellectual property rights, please visit our Intellectual Property Help Center or consider applying for access to Brand Rights Protection.
Ads must comply with our Community Standards on Third-Party Intellectual Property Infringement.
If your ad contains music you are required to secure the necessary licenses (e.g. for the sound recording and/or the musical composition) in order to avoid infringing or violating the intellectual property rights of music rights holders.
We have the same policies around the world, for everyone on Facebook.
Our global team of over 15,000 reviewers work every day to keep people on Facebook safe.
Outside experts, academics, NGOs and policymakers help inform the Facebook Community Standards.
