This policy is an internal and external-facing intellectual property protection policy for Project 84 LLC. It documents ownership positions, prohibited uses, enforcement practices, and risk controls for Micro Mini Golf. It should be used consistently with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, source control records, asset records, licensing files, and attorney guidance.
1. Protected Project 84 Materials
Project 84 LLC protects its original materials under copyright, trademark, trade secret, contract, unfair competition, and other applicable laws. Protected materials include, to the extent original to Project 84 LLC:
Game source code, object code, scripts, tools, builds, and configuration files.
Server-side logic, backend systems, Cloudflare-hosted services, APIs, database schemas, administrative interfaces, and the self-developed management console.

2. Ownership Limitations and Third-Party Rights
Project 84 LLC claims ownership only of its original contributions and licensed materials. Project 84 LLC does not claim ownership of third-party trademarks, university names, school names, mascots, logos, military insignias, government seals, public agency marks, or other third-party intellectual property. If third-party content is used, Project 84 LLC should maintain written licenses, permissions, or legal review records.
3. Copyright Controls
Copyright protection should be supported by development records, Git history, source asset files, invoices, contractor assignments, AI-generation records if applicable, and versioned releases. For major releases, Project 84 LLC should consider copyright registration for source code deposits, visual art collections, audio collections, and marketing materials. Registration can strengthen enforcement options if copying occurs.
4. Trademark Controls
Project 84 LLC should conduct clearance before relying on Micro Mini Golf, Project 84, logos, slogans, or other brand identifiers. If the brand will be used commercially, Project 84 LLC should consider state and federal trademark registration. Trademark use should be consistent across the app, website, App Store listing, social media, and marketing materials.
5. Trade Secret Controls
Non-public backend code, management console functions, admin credentials, moderation tools, analytics configurations, server architecture, API keys, security rules, build processes, private roadmaps, and business strategies should be treated as confidential trade secrets. Access should be limited by role, protected by MFA where feasible, logged, and revoked when no longer needed.
6. Prohibited Uses
Copying, cloning, distributing, or selling Project 84 LLC code or assets.
Extracting, ripping, scraping, datamining, recording, or exporting art, audio, levels, golf ball designs, course designs, UI elements, or data.
Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, modifying, or bypassing the Game, APIs, backend, or management tools.
Using Project 84 LLC content to train, improve, evaluate, or build AI or machine learning systems.
Recreating confusingly similar games, courses, golf ball designs, branding, or interface layouts for commercial use.
Using Project 84 LLC trademarks, logos, or trade dress without permission.
Attacking, scanning, probing, bypassing, or misusing Cloudflare protections, backend services, APIs, or admin systems.
7. AI and Dataset Restrictions
Project 84 LLC content may not be used to train, fine-tune, test, validate, benchmark, or improve AI models, machine learning systems, computer vision systems, generative tools, datasets, embeddings, or synthetic data products without written permission. This restriction applies to source code, art, screenshots, video captures, audio, chat data, game telemetry, course layouts, golf ball designs, and documentation.
8. User-Created Content and Community Content
If users submit usernames, chat, reports, course-related content, customizations, or other content, Project 84 LLC should define user rights and moderation rights in the Terms. User content should not be allowed to infringe third-party rights, impersonate others, include prohibited marks, or violate safety rules. Project 84 LLC should preserve the right to remove or disable content at any time.
9. Enforcement Process
Identify the allegedly copied material and preserve evidence, including screenshots, URLs, file hashes, dates, app listings, videos, repositories, marketplace pages, and communications.
Confirm whether the copied material is original to Project 84 LLC, licensed to Project 84 LLC, or owned by a third party.
Review contracts, assignments, source files, Git history, and registration records.
Choose the enforcement path: informal notice, platform complaint, DMCA notice, cease-and-desist letter, marketplace takedown, app store complaint, domain host complaint, or legal action.
Avoid claiming ownership over third-party marks or content that Project 84 LLC does not own.
Keep a record of all notices, responses, takedowns, reinstatements, counter-notices, and resolutions.
10. Infringement Reporting Procedure
Infringement reports may be sent to [email protected]. A complete report should include the reporting party name, contact information, identification of the work claimed to be infringed, identification of the allegedly infringing material, supporting evidence, a good-faith statement, and a statement that the report is accurate. Project 84 LLC may request additional information before taking action.
11. Specific Content Risk Review
12. App Store and Platform Complaints
Project 84 LLC should be prepared to respond to App Store, platform, or rights-holder complaints with documentation showing ownership, licenses, permissions, or redesign decisions. Because legal documents do not authorize use of third-party marks, high-risk content should be cleared or replaced before launch.
13. Public Copyright Notice
Recommended notice: © 2026 Project 84 LLC. All Rights Reserved. Micro Mini Golf, Project 84, and Project 84 original source code, backend systems, APIs, management tools, databases, artwork, golf ball designs, course designs, graphics, audio, user interface elements, and branding are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Unauthorized copying, reproduction, reverse engineering, asset extraction, redistribution, AI training, commercialization, or creation of derivative works is prohibited.
14. Review Schedule
Project 84 LLC should review this policy before each major release, before adding new monetization features, before adding user-generated content, before expanding internationally, and before adding any third-party branded content. Legal review is recommended before public launch.
