Yes, I am the copyright holder.

**Are you submitting a revised DMCA notice after GitHub Trust & Safety requested you make changes to your original notice?**

**Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?**

**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

I am the [private], [private] [private], and copyright owner of the browser extension "WhatsApp Web Designer." [private] own all original source code, custom CSS stylesheets, and unique theme configuration data associated with this extension.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**

The original work is a browser extension named "WhatsApp Web Designer." The infringement involves the unauthorized copying, reproduction, and distribution of [private] proprietary user interface styles and [private] uniquely authored theme configuration arrays and preset names.

The infringing repository contains direct, verbatim copies of these configurations (housed in their themes-presets.js file), as well as logic reverse-engineered directly from [private] build files. While the development repository for [private] extension is kept private on [private] for proprietary reasons, the compiled, public-facing build of these files is live in the extension.

The unauthorized copying is explicitly documented in the infringing repository's own history. This specific commit features a message explicitly stating "themes-presets.js — replaced with all 12
Whatsapp-Web-Designer themes ported byte-for-byte", proving the unauthorized extraction and use of [private] original CSS styles and theme configurations.

The specific commit demonstrating the unauthorized copying of [private] CSS and reverse engineering: https://github.com/BaskLash/WhatsApp-Web-Customizer/commit/3c7dab0871a520039bb4cbf4a9b41a20cf1e42a3

**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**

**We ask that a DMCA takedown notice list every specific file in the repository that is infringing, unless the entire contents of the repository are infringing on your copyright. Please clearly state that the entire repository is infringing, OR provide the specific files within the repository you would like removed.**

**Based on the above, I confirm that:**

Specific files within the repository are infringing

**Identify only the specific file URLs within the repository that is infringing:**

**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and <i>must be identified separately</i>. Please read more about <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">forks.</a> As forks may often contain different material than in the parent repository, if you believe any of the repositories or files in the forks are infringing, please list each fork URL below:**

**Based on the representative number of forks I have reviewed, I believe that all or most of the forks are infringing to the same extent as the parent repository.**

**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**

No

**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?**

Reported content must be removed
