How to clear a YouTube Copyright Strike with Toonyug Animation License Certificate?
🎬 Introduction
If your YouTube video has received a copyright strike — whether it’s genuine or false — and you’ve used assets you created yourself or purchased legally from Toonyug.com with a License Certificate, there’s no need to panic.
YouTube has an official process for handling copyright strikes, and if you have a valid Toonyug Animation License Certificate, your video is safe and legally protected.
⚖️ Step-by-Step Process: How to Remove a Copyright Strike via YouTube Studio
1️⃣ Check the Reason for the Strike
Go to YouTube Studio → Content → Copyright Section.
You’ll see the name of the claimant (person or company) who filed the claim.
You can also see the content name (video, music, or image) they objected to.
2️⃣ Verify Your License Certificate
If the asset (character, background, music, etc.) was purchased from Toonyug.com, you’ll have received a License Certificate PDF along with the download.
It states:
“The Licensee is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use, modify, and adapt the above-mentioned Product in personal and commercial projects (including but not limited to videos, thumbnails, games, advertisements, or Animation projects). Redistribution, resale, sharing, or re-packaging of the original or modified file as a standalone asset is strictly prohibited.
This certificate, along with purchase proof (Invoice / Order ID), serves as legal evidence of authorization in case of any copyright dispute on platforms such as YouTube, social media, or third-party marketplaces.
All intellectual property rights remain with the original creator and licensor, Toonyug Animation.”
Keep this PDF or a screenshot handy — it’s your legal proof.
3️⃣ Submit a Counter Notification
Now, you need to inform YouTube that your usage is fully licensed.
Go to: 👉 YouTube Counter Notification Form
In the form, write something like:
“I have purchased a commercial license for the content in question from Toonyug.com. The license grants me full rights to use this asset on YouTube and other online platforms.”
Attach your License Certificate (PDF or link) with the form.
4️⃣ YouTube Review Process
YouTube will review your counter notification.
If the claimant doesn’t take legal action within 10–14 days, your video will be restored and the strike will be removed.
🛡️ Important Points
Every Toonyug asset comes with a commercial license.
You can legally use these assets on YouTube, Instagram, animation projects, courses, etc.
If someone files a false claim, your Toonyug License Certificate is your strongest defense.
