A user is publically announcing material from copyrighted research owned by my corporation. I have reached out to the CEO of the company whos page is in question (by phone and e-mail) and they refuse to remove the content. We have tried deleting it from their Wikipage and they keep putting it back. Now they have the page protected. How do we resolve this?

As a start, you need to tell us what you are talking about, specifically, providing a link or at least the name of the article and what material in it your are referring to.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

As above. I have cancelled the above request for now, until you can give us more info - because otherwise it alerts the helpers every 3 minutes :-)

So - please add some information about what company, and what article, below this message and add another {{helpme}}. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  22:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Copyrighted Material

Thanks.

The article in question is on WiPower#REDIRECT [[1]].

In the history section, they refer to a 2008 Technology of the Year Award from Frost & Sullivan (the company I work for). The Award being referred to comes from findings of research conducted by Frost & Sullivan. The research was fully funded, conducted, and is owned by Frost & Sullivan as intellectual property for our subscribers and not meant for public usage. The research comes from primary sources and is copyrighted by Frost & Sullivan and protected under section 106 & 107 of the 1976 Copyright Act as an original work of authorship as well as being an original intellectual work.

We do not allow companies to leverage our research or its findings in the general public without a license agreement, this is something Mr. Ryan Tseng, WiPower's CEO, declined to do. Yet, he and his Business Development guy, Mr. Henoch Senbetta who appears the user who is authoring this page, is publically using Wikipedia as a publicity platform to boast about our research findings without our permission.

I am not asking that his Wikipedia page be removed, or that they be banned, only that the one statement about the Frost & Sullivan Award be removed and not allowed to be displayed until WiPower and Frost & Sullivan can enter into a legal license agreement for use of our intellectual property (research findings).

Any help that you can provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I would be happy to send you any supporting materials if you feel its necessary.

Thanks in advance!! FS2009FS2009 (talk) 01:14, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Is the statement inaccurate? Gigs (talk) 01:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Its not for Public Use

The statement is based on research findings and opinions funded and owned by Frost & Sullivan and by publically leveraging our name and research to promote WiPower's technology and business without our permission is a direct violatuon of section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act (title 17 US Code). That law gives the copyright holder (Frost & Sullivan) the ability to allow or deny any other party the right to publically display our work, create derivatives of our work, or distribute our work without express written consent from Frost & Sullivan. They are aware of this and have been since September of 2008.
