Rights Manager

The Rights Manager is an Intellectual Property (IP) management tool that lets rights holders or their authorized representatives report unauthorized use of copyright content on Roblox. All rights holders, including those that don't have a presence on Roblox, can use this tool to request the removal of unauthorized experiences, avatar items, and assets hosted on the platform.

Register your account

In order to use the Rights Manager, you must first register either as a rights owner or their authorized representative. This allows Roblox to confirm your legal identity with the creations that you own or represent. You only need to complete this process once.

To register as a rights holder or as an authorized representative:

  1. In the Creator Hub, go to Intellectual Property > Registration.
  2. Click Start registration.
  3. Fill out the registration form.
    1. Under Rights holder:
      1. In the dropdown, select one of:
        • I am the rights holder if you're registering on behalf of yourself.
        • I am reporting on behalf of my organization or client if you're an authorized representative registering on behalf of someone else.
      2. Enter your full name.
      3. If you're an authorized representative, enter your organization or client name.
    2. Under Address, enter your address.
    3. If you're an authorized representative, under Supporting documentation, upload documents that prove you're an authorized representative of the rights holder. You can upload a maximum of 3 files. See Supporting documentation for more information.
    4. Under Legal agreements, confirm that all of your information in the registration form is accurate, and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
    5. Under Signature, enter your full legal name as your electronic signature.
  4. Click Submit for review.

Supporting documentation

If you're registering as the authorized representative of a rights holder, you must upload supporting documentation in the form of a letter of authorization. This letter must:

  • Be on official company letterhead.
  • Identify you as the individual authorized representative.
  • Identify the company you work for.
  • State whether you are authorized to act on the IP holder's entire IP portfolio or only on specific IP titles.
  • State whether you can enforce the IP rights (for example, issue removal requests), enter into license agreements pertaining to the IP rights, or both.
  • Be signed and dated. Digital signatures are allowed.

File an IP removal request

Once Roblox accepts your registration, you can create IP removal requests for one or more assets, experiences, and avatar items to protect your intellectual property. After you submit an IP removal request, you cannot edit any information within the request while Roblox reviews its content.

To file an IP removal request:

  1. Go to Intellectual Property > Rights Manager > Removal Requests.
  2. In the Removal Requests tab, click New Removal Request.
  3. Fill out the removal request form.
    1. Under Select creations for removal:
      1. Provide a link to your creation on the Roblox platform.
      2. Provide up to 250 links to the creations you are reporting.
      3. (Optional) Enter any additional details that might be relevant and that might help Roblox understand your report. For example, if you are reporting an asset in an experience, provide a screenshot and details of where to find the asset you are reporting.
      4. Click Add Creation.
    2. Under Review creations, review the details of your removal request and click Next.
    3. Under Add details:
      1. Under General, enter a name for the removal request. You can use this name later to easily search for this specific request.
      2. Under Legal Agreements, confirm that the information you provided is accurate and enter your full legal name as your signature.
      3. Click Submit for Review. Roblox now reviews your IP removal request.

Review IP removal requests

All IP removal requests display within a table on the Rights Manager landing page, and you can review each reported creation's status as Roblox processes your report.

A reported creation can have one of three statuses:

  • Pending: The IP removal request is still under review.
  • Approved: Roblox approved the IP removal request and removed the infringing content.
  • Rejected: Roblox rejected the IP removal request with a reason for the decision.

If you believe that a rejected creation is still infringing on you, your client, or your organization's copyrights, you can file a new IP removal request with additional information.
