What is not covered here?

Issues in ads other than intellectual property

The forms above are specifically for reporting complaints related to intellectual property infringement. If you have found an occurrence of a low-quality ad on Microsoft Bing or Yahoo, please fill out the Low quality ad submission & escalation form to report spam or malicious ads.
