Section 1.01. Platform Intellectual Property Ownership. The proprietary nomenclature "myPeer", the corporate logo lockup, the distinct "VERIFIED" badge infrastructure, the ghost watermark authentication overlays, digital website templates, card designs, structural layouts, the complete array of interactive clinical case scenarios, questions, and systematic explanations hosted within the "my Lounge" environment, all underlying software source code, object code, proprietary algorithms, databases, and operational digital architectures compiled upon the domain mypeer.in and its subdomains (collectively, "Platform IP") constitute the exclusive copyrighted property of Cover-Prime Technologies Private Limited or its statutory licensors. The provision of Platform access or account registration does not convey, transfer, or imply any assignment of proprietary title, copyright, or ownership rights over the Platform IP to the User. Authorized utilization of corporate brand marks remains strictly bound by the separate myPeer Brand Policy. Section 1.02. User-Generated Content Title. All original textual, graphical, clinical, or hyperlinked materials deliberately uploaded, ingested, or published by a Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP) within their designated profile dashboard-including but not limited to professional biographies, facility photographs, practice matrices, diagnostic case galleries, and external scheduling mechanisms (collectively, "Doctor Content")-shall remain the exclusive proprietary property and copyright of the uploading User. myPeer asserts no competing proprietary title or copyright ownership claims over valid Doctor Content.
