Trademark complaints are not copyright complaints. They rest on rights in a name, logo or mark, registered or established through use, and on a likelihood that customers will be confused. Platforms check both, so a trademark report needs the registration or evidence of use and a clear explanation of the confusing use.
We prepare trademark reports for marketplaces, ad platforms, social networks and domain registrars, and we tell you when a situation is beyond a platform report: an opposition, a UDRP complaint or litigation needs a lawyer, and we will say so.
Common infringement scenarios
- Counterfeit or unauthorized listings using your brand name or logo
- Competitors using your brand as a keyword and in ad text
- Social accounts and pages using your mark
- Domains containing your brand name used for lookalike stores
- Unauthorized resellers implying an official relationship
What we need from you
- Registration certificates or application numbers, with jurisdictions and classes
- If unregistered, evidence of use: launch dates, sales, marketing, press
- Links to each infringing listing, ad, account or domain
- Any licensing or distribution agreements that permit third-party use

Frequently asked questions
My trademark is not registered. Can you still report?
Often yes, with evidence of established use, though many platforms strongly prefer or require a registration. Registration also removes most arguments about who owns the mark.
A competitor bids on my brand name in Google Ads. Is that reportable?
Bidding on a competitor's brand as a keyword is generally allowed by Google. Using the trademark in ad text is restricted and can be reported. We check which situation applies before filing.
Can you handle a domain dispute?
We prepare the evidence and file registrar abuse reports. A UDRP or URS complaint to recover a domain is a formal proceeding, which we refer to a specialist.
