Hi,
Hope somebody can help me.
First, Google removed one of my app for Alleged Trademark Infringement. I didn’t know I couldn’t use a name in my app but I can understand the trademark infringement. So that’s fine.
[b]Following this, I decided to unpublish several apps to avoid more app suspensions.
Then, I got an email from Google:[/b]
Please address the issue described below, then submit an update with your changes.
REASON FOR REJECTION:Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy. Please refer to the IP infringement and impersonation policy help article for more information.
Your app and/or elements of its listing on Google Play, including title, description, logo(s), or promotional screenshots must not include unauthorized usage of protected works belonging to a third party.
Your app icon and promotional screenshots must not contain images that appear confusingly similar to existing products.
Protected work could typically include product names, brands, images, logos, music, and similar works.
Please make modifications to your app and/or its listing to bring it into compliance. To do so, remove any content that may be a protected work in your app and/or app listing.
And here’s what is displayed on my Google Play dashboard app:
[b]APP UPDATE REJECTED[/b]
Your app submission has been rejected for a violation of the Google Play Developer Program Policy regarding Intellectual Property. If this submission was an update to an existing app, the version published prior to this update is still available in Google Play. Please review the copyright infringement and impersonation help articles, then remove unlicensed images from your app and/or listing and resubmit.Additional details have been sent to your account owner's email address
I only wanted to unpublish one of app and now I have a warning from Google… So the Google bot basically rejected my unpublish update…
My question is, how can I avoid to have another warning and also have my app unpublished?
I can submit an update by removing the icon, screenshots and change the description but I cannot change the package ID…
Because the package ID of my app include the name of a celebrity… I feel like if I submit an update (even of my unpublished app) I will have a warning from Google that may result to my account termination
Anyone can help please? Thank you.
