If you disputed a likeness claim, but the claim was reinstated, you may be eligible to appeal this decision.
When you appeal a likeness claim, the claimant is notified and has 7 days to respond.
Before you appeal
You can check if you're eligible to appeal on your channel features page. If you’re not eligible, you may need to complete a one-time verification before you can appeal.
Repeated or malicious abuse of the appeal process can result in losing the eligibility to appeal or other penalties against your video or channel.
