How Redbubble handles copyright takedowns
Redbubble removes designs reported through its content-and-IP process and repeat reports can suspend an artist account. Because print-on-demand niches are crowded, false IP claims are used to knock out competing designs. Redbubble accepts counter-notices/appeals for wrongful DMCA takedowns, and a valid claim must identify a specific work and a verifiable rights-holder.
Signs a Redbubble copyright notice is fake
The claim doesn't point to a specific copyrighted or trademarked work you copied.
Reporter is an unverifiable account, possibly a competing artist.
Required DMCA statements (perjury, authorization) are absent.
It pressures you with fees or threats rather than a clean takedown.

Redbubble copyright FAQ
Can another artist file a fake IP claim on my Redbubble design?
Yes — false intellectual-property reports are used to remove competing designs. If the claim names no real work you copied and the reporter is unverifiable, it may be abuse you can contest.
How do I counter a Redbubble takedown?
Submit a counter-notification/appeal through Redbubble stating a good-faith belief the design was removed in error; it can be reinstated if the claimant doesn't pursue legal action.
