Platinmods respects the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and is committed to maintaining a platform that balances user access to MOD APKs with proper copyright protections. This page outlines our policies, procedures, and commitments regarding copyright holders’ rights.
Understanding Copyright Protection
Copyright automatically protects original works of authorship from the moment of creation, including mobile applications, games, software, and digital content available through our MOD APK platform.

Scope of Copyright Protection
Copyright protection extends to various elements found in mobile applications:

- Graphic assets such as images, icons, and animations

- Game mechanics and unique gameplay features

Copyright protection lasts for the life of the creator plus 70 years. For works created by corporations or as works-for-hire, protection extends for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.

- Research and scholarship advancing knowledge
Factors in Fair Use Analysis
Courts consider four primary factors when evaluating fair use claims:
