- Do Nothing. Strikes expire after 90 days, as long as you complete Copyright School
...

I wonder if completing Copyright School will endow you with the knowledge to be able to definitively call this out as BS
Then send ericson's lawyer a link to it :-DD

That is a clear cut case of abuse of the Copyright Act.
Dispute it.

1) Accept the strike and remove all Ericsson content in fear of getting youtube channel closed forever.

Your channel cannot be shut down for Copyright claims.
There is no mechanism in Youtube to do that, Copyright claims are not community guidelines strikes against your channel.


--- Quote ---2) Contact Ericsson directly, I got a contact email with the strike, but what should I write them? (Clearly they just wanted the video gone)
3) Counter-file the strike and that can possible lead to a court case, legal action etc. Which is such a serious step that there basically is no choice for a small youtube channel to go against a international company.

So another video telling them to F off and watch it go viral and watch them backtrack.
Don't back down, do #3 and nuke them from orbit.
What they have done is abuse of the Copyright Act and that is a crime.

There are very few hardware configurations which are "novel"--------most are "Public Domain", as witness how similar the circuitry is from competing companies.

Back in the 1920s/'30s, the then, large Radio/Electronics companies tried, & failed, to suppress the propagation of knowledge about this then, new field.

"Radio" magazines published circuits using the latest designs, Amateur Radio operators made breakthroughs in HF Communications, in many cases, leading the major companies, tube manufacturers published details on all their new components (they wanted to sell them, & restriction of knowledge restricted their sales).

In Oz, manufacturers of radios did pay "lip service" to  the patent claims, as witness the "ARTS & P" stickers on older radios, but other countries did not.

From that time,  "Public Domain" reigned supreme, until fairly recently.
People take their "IP rights" to ridiculous lengths, sometimes.
One company I worked for a few years ago wouldn't let us look at the schematic of their "mother board"
(it was really just a interface board), which made troubleshooting a bit difficult.

I pointed out to them that if anyone possesed IP rights to the stuff on that board, it would be National Semiconductor, or Texas Instruments.
They were adamant, however, & didn't change their ruling till they received a batch of faulty boards from their supplier.

Copyright, trademarks, and patents are different things, and the only one they are even actually sorta claiming ("detailed product information") would fall under patent protection.

This is correct, and the Erricson lawyers will know this.
You are being strong armed by a bunch of bullies acting illegally, tell them to F off.
