Brand enforcement

A domain takedown is the process of getting a fraudulent or infringing domain deactivated or removed by the parties that control it: the registrar, the hosting provider, or the registry.

Brand protection is the practice of defending a brand’s identity, reputation, and customers from online abuse such as impersonation, counterfeiting, phishing, and fraud, through monitoring and enforcement.

Brand abuse is the unauthorized use of a brand name, logo, or identity to deceive or profit, spanning impersonation, counterfeiting, fraud, and reputation attacks.

Trademark monitoring is watching for unauthorized use of your registered trademarks, in new trademark filings, domains, marketplaces, and online content, so you can object or enforce early.

A DMCA takedown is a request under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act asking a host or platform to remove content that infringes your copyright, such as a site that copies your text, images, or code.

Cybersquatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to someone else’s brand or trademark, in bad faith.

An abuse report is a formal complaint sent to a registrar, host, or platform that documents how a domain or site breaks their policy or the law, asking them to act on it.

Takedown-as-a-service is an outsourced model where a specialist provider handles the removal of fraudulent domains, sites, and content for you, instead of you fighting registrars and hosts in-house.
