The Ibidgames userinterface design drawings that appear on the main page of Angel.co/ibidgames are derivate and infringing copies of Copyright VAu[REDACTED]78, and Design Patent USD 29/465,172 which original drawings are attached.

We ask you to takedown this page.

Sincerely,

Please see attached Copyright Complaint Draft that explains the case details.

[REDACTED] [REDACTED]/Ibidgames stole a CD disk from my Los Angeles offices containing the User Interface drawings for "prefunding bidding-fee-auction"' method.
