First, the application was created +for and at the direction of Ironbound Fitness, Inc. Second, the portions written +by the independent contractor referred to above were produced under a written +agreement containing an intellectual-property assignment clause, which +transferred all right, title, and interest in that work to Ironbound Fitness, +Inc., and that contractor was separately bound by an executed non-disclosure +agreement. + +No rights in this code have been licensed, assigned, or otherwise transferred to +any third party, and no permission to reproduce or publish it was ever granted. + +**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.** + +The work is the complete source code of "Ironbound," a proprietary mobile +fitness application for iOS and Android owned by Ironbound Fitness, Inc. + +NATURE AND SCOPE + +Ironbound is a substantial original software work developed privately since +approximately April 2026 over more than 1,100 commits in a private repository. +The copied material comprises 158 files, including: + +- Approximately 44,400 lines of original JavaScript, JSX and TypeScript +application code, of which the principal application file (src/App.jsx) +alone is 26,728 lines; +- 30 SQL files defining the application's database schema, table structures +and access-control policies; +- Native integration components for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin and +Java), including a custom health-data integration plugin; +- Serverless API functions handling the application's server-side logic; +- Application configuration, build configuration and packaging files. + +Functionally, the work implements user account and profile management, +automated workout program generation, progression tracking, gym equipment +profiling, nutrition and meal planning, health-data integration, and +integrations with third-party services. + +PUBLICATION STATUS + +The source code is unpublished and commercially confidential. It has never been +released publicly, never open-sourced, and never licensed to any third party. +The only distribution of the application has been as a compiled binary to a +small closed group of beta testers; the source code itself has at no point been +made publicly available by Ironbound Fitness, Inc. or with its authorization. + +The authentic repository is private, at +[private]. Because the work is unpublished +and proprietary, no public link to the original exists. I can provide access or +further verification to GitHub on request. + +**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.** + +The original work is not available online. It is unpublished, proprietary source +code and has never been publicly released. + +It is, however, hosted privately on [private], and [private] can verify it directly: + +[private] (private repository, owned by [private]) + +For comparison, the infringing files correspond byte-for-byte to commit +b5708a1e8f890b34a0d75d2618c1429a2e16f37b in that repository.
