How to report a copy of your work on Temu

Checked against Temu's official pages on

Temu handles intellectual property reports through its IP Portal. Only the rights owner, or an agent with their permission, can file, and you must be logged in. A copyright notice can cover several works, and each infringing product is identified by its product page URL.

Before you start
  • A Temu account to log in to the IP Portal.
  • The full product page URL of each copy (not a share link or search page).
  • A link to your original work and the date you first published it.
  • Your name, address, phone number and email.
  • Any registration number, if your work is registered. Copyright exists without registration, so this is optional.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Open the IP Portal and log in

    Go to temu.com/intellectual-property-complaint.html (linked from Temu's Intellectual Property Policy) and log in. Temu requires notice submitters to be logged in to the portal.

  2. 02

    Identify your work

    Describe the copyrighted work, link to it and give its first publication date. A notice may cover more than one copyrighted work.

  3. 03

    Say how it's being infringed

    Choose where the infringement appears: on the product, its packaging, an image on the product detail page, or text on the product detail page. For copied listing photos, it's the image.

  4. 04

    List the infringing products and sellers

    Add the URL of each infringing product detail page and the seller responsible. Supporting documents, such as screenshots or order IDs from test buys, help Temu process the complaint.

  5. 05

    Sign and submit

    Add your contact details, confirm the good-faith statement, and confirm under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that you own the copyright or may act for the owner. Then submit.

What the notice must include
  • §Your physical or electronic signature.
  • §Identification of each copyrighted work.
  • §Each infringing item, with enough detail for Temu to find it.
  • §Your address, telephone number and email.
  • §A good-faith statement that the use isn't authorised.
  • §A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you're the owner or authorised.

After you file

  • Temu may ask for more information, such as verification of your right and ownership, before processing.
  • If the notice is accepted, Temu removes the reported content and acts against the seller.
  • A seller who thinks the removal was a mistake can send a counter-notice explaining why.
  • You can withdraw a report through the IP Portal.
  • Temu doesn't publish a standard response time.

Why reports get rejected

  • False, incomplete or bad-faith information. Temu may reject these reports and remove submission privileges from people who keep sending inaccurate notices.
  • Links that don't point to a specific product detail page.

Repeat infringers

Temu's policy says it terminates repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Copies often return under new store names, so keep watching after a removal.
