TikTok video removed for copyright or trademark

TikTokVideos & reach Updated 30 Oct 2026

After a copyright or trademark report, TikTok removes the video. You can file an appeal or counter-notification, but TikTok shares your details with the person who reported you — so only do it for content you own.

Appeal template — copy and fill in

Hello TikTok Team,

My video [Video link] was removed on [Date] after a copyright/trademark report (Report number: [Number, if shown]).

I believe this removal is a mistake because:
[Choose one:]
- All footage and audio in the video were created by me.
- I have permission from the owner (proof attached).
- I only used a short part of the work to review/comment on it, which is fair use.

Contact details: [Full name], [Address], [Email], [Phone].
I state that the information in this appeal is accurate.

Thank you,
[Your full name]
Replace every [highlighted part] with your own details before you send it.

Where to submit

TikTok app — removal notice → Appeal (or web counter-notification form)

How to submit — step by step

  1. Open the removal notice in Inbox and tap "Appeal".
  2. Paste your appeal and add your proof.
  3. Web option: tiktok.com/legal/report/counternotification (needs the report number).

Important

TikTok sends your whole appeal, including your name, address and phone, to the person who reported you. Never appeal for content you do not own.

Questions

Where do I submit this TikTok appeal?

TikTok app — removal notice → Appeal (or web counter-notification form). Open the removal notice in Inbox and tap "Appeal".

What should I know before I appeal?

TikTok sends your whole appeal, including your name, address and phone, to the person who reported you. Never appeal for content you do not own.

Can someone recover my TikTok account for money?

No. Only TikTok can review your account, and the appeal is free. People who ask for money to "unban" or "recover" accounts are almost always scammers — never share your password or login codes with them.

Is this an official TikTok form?

No. This is a free template from Umair TikTok Wala Academy. You still submit it yourself inside TikTok. We are not part of TikTok, and no one can guarantee the result.
