Pinterest respects the trademark rights of others and expects Pinners to do the same. Pinterest may disable access to content that misleads others or violates another's trademark rights. Pinterest may also suspend or terminate users who post or share such content. In addition, Pinterest may transfer usernames as appropriate.

If you're concerned that someone may be using your trademark in an infringing way on Pinterest, let us know by submitting a trademark infringement report via our easy-to-use online form. We'll review your submission and take appropriate action.

The trademark infringement report form is the best way to contact us with your concerns, but you can also email us at trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com).

If your content is removed based on a trademark infringement report, you can contest it by emailing trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com) and letting us know why you think the report is invalid. Please include the trademark infringement report reference number. If you want us to forward the information from the trademark infringement report, let us know by emailing trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com) and include the trademark complaint reference number. We'll be happy to send it to you, although we may remove personal contact information.  

It’s our policy – in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion – to suspend or terminate the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe trademark rights or are repeatedly charged with infringing trademarks or other intellectual property rights.  Actions against such users may also include temporary suspension of their ability to post content, among other things.

    Anti-counterfeiting on Pinterest

    Pinterest prohibits users from selling or promoting the sale of counterfeit goods on Pinterest. Counterfeit goods are goods that are promoted, sold or distributed using a trademark that is identical to, or substantially indistinguishable from, another’s trademark, without authorisation from the trademark owner. 

    If you believe that content on Pinterest is selling or promoting counterfeits, you can submit a counterfeiting report using our easy-to-use online form. You can also report alleged counterfeiting by emailing us at trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com). 

    We'll review your submission and take appropriate action.  

    If your content is removed based on a counterfeit report, you can contest it by emailing trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com) and letting us know why you think the report is invalid. Please include the report reference number. If you want us to forward the information from the report, let us know by emailing trademark [at] pinterest.com (trademark[at]pinterest[dot]com) and include the report reference number. We'll be happy to send it to you, although we may remove personal contact information.  

    It’s our policy – in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion – to suspend or terminate users found to be engaging in blatant or repeated counterfeiting. Users whose content is removed for violating our counterfeit policy may also have additional consequences, such as having access to certain services or programmes revoked (e.g. advertising privileges, merchant and verified merchant programmes).
