Adobe Stock account reinstatement after IP violation

Has anyone had their Adobe Stock contributor account reinstated after an IP violation involving sports branding content? I'm looking for real experiences, timelines, and outcomes.

    First off, I would never violate IP.  That’s a very serious matter. 

    Companies are fiercely protective of their brand identity, logos, trademarks, etc...

    Violating IP can carry costly legal & financial penalties.

     

    When someone files a DMCA complaint, and you think it was done in error, you can file a counter notice with proof that you didn’t violate copyright. See links below for more details

    Hope that helps.
