Guys, need some community guidance. One of our Apps in AppStore was kinda cloned and clone uses same screenshots with minor defacing edits. Is there a way to complain to Apple other than regular support? Couldn't ask DevRel right now.

Yes, of course You should consider filing a complaint under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) in the U.S. or the DSA (Digital Services Act) in Europe It's important to clearly specify what exactly has been copied—simply having similar gameplay isn't sufficient. In your case, since screenshots have been directly copied with minor edits, this can be a strong basis for your complaint Additionally, this applies to any specific elements that have been duplicated, including graphics, text, or music. Remember, the idea of the game itself is not protected by copyright. Make sure to gather screenshots showing the copied elements as evidence. Keep in mind that the process for resolving these issues can vary between platforms, as Apple and Google may respond differently.
