Copyright and trademark enforcement
We remove content that infringes your rights.
IP Removal helps authors, studios, publishers, photographers and brands deal with stolen work online. We prepare and file takedown notices with websites, hosting providers, marketplaces and search engines, and we only act for verified rights holders or the agents they have authorized in writing.
About our work
When someone copies your work without permission, the fastest route to getting it taken down is usually not a lawsuit. It is a properly written notice sent to the company that hosts or distributes the material. Most platforms have a published process for these notices, and most act on them quickly when the notice is complete, accurate and sent by someone with standing to send it. The difficulty is that every host has different forms, different contact points and different expectations, and a notice that is missing one required detail is simply ignored.
IP Removal exists to handle that process on your behalf. We locate the right recipient for each infringing page, identify whether it is a website host, a marketplace, a social network or a search engine, and prepare a notice that follows that recipient’s own requirements. Everything is written for your approval, sent in your name or on your behalf as your authorized agent, and logged so you can see exactly what was sent and what came back.
We are deliberately narrow in what we do. Our work is copyright and trademark enforcement against unauthorized copies, counterfeit goods, piracy links and impersonation. We are not a general reputation-management service, and we do not help anyone hide accurate information, criticism or reporting.
Services
What we handle
Copyright (DMCA) takedowns
If your photographs, articles, videos, music, software or artwork have been copied onto another site without a licence, we prepare a notice under the DMCA or the equivalent law in the host’s country. The notice identifies your original work, lists the exact infringing addresses, and carries the statements these laws require, so the host can act without asking you for clarification.
Trademark infringement removal
When another seller, domain or advertiser uses your registered name or logo in a way likely to confuse customers, we report the listing to the marketplace, registrar or ad platform through its brand-protection channel. We work from your trademark registration and explain, in plain terms, why the use is not authorized.
Counterfeit and piracy link removal
Fake goods and pirated downloads tend to reappear under new addresses. We document the storefronts and link pages that distribute your products, report them to their hosts and payment or marketplace providers, and keep a record of repeat offenders so later notices can reference earlier ones.
Search engine de-indexing requests
Even after a page is reported to its host, it can remain visible in search results for some time. We submit removal requests to the major search engines through their own legal forms, so the infringing address stops appearing for searches on your name, title or brand while the host processes the original notice.
Social media impersonation reports
Accounts that copy your logo, name or content to mislead your audience are reported through each network’s impersonation and intellectual-property channels. We gather side-by-side evidence of the original and the copy, because platforms respond best to clear comparisons.
Monitoring and alerts
For ongoing protection we can scan for new copies of your registered works and marks and send you a list of matches. Nothing is filed automatically. You review each match, decide which are genuine infringements, and approve the notices we prepare.
A takedown notice only works when it is complete, accurate and sent by someone with the right to send it.
How a case works
We verify who you are
Every engagement starts with an email describing your work and your role. We ask for documents that show ownership, such as a copyright registration, a publishing or distribution agreement, a trademark certificate, or a signed letter from the owner naming you as their agent. We keep these documents confidential and use them only for the notices you approve.
We review the evidence
You send the addresses of the infringing pages and a link or file for the original. A reviewer compares the two, records the date each page was seen, and considers whether the use could be fair use, a licensed use or protected commentary. If a claim is weak, we tell you so instead of filing it.
We prepare and file the notices
Once you approve the wording, we send each notice to the correct recipient using its official reporting channel. Hosts, marketplaces and search engines each receive a notice shaped to their own requirements, and we follow up where a response is overdue.
We report back
You receive a case summary showing every notice sent, every response received, and the status of each address. If the other party files a counter-notice, we explain what it means and what your options are, so you can decide how to proceed.
Authorization and limits
We take on
- Requests from verified owners and agents
- Copies of work you created or license
- Counterfeit goods and piracy links
- Impersonation of your brand
We decline
- Claims without proof of ownership
- Fair use, parody and criticism
- News and public-interest reporting
- Content that is simply unflattering
We act only for the owner of the rights or for someone holding the owner’s written authorization. If you are an agent, a manager or a law firm, we need a signed letter or agreement that shows your authority. We will not file a notice for a person who cannot show they are entitled to enforce the right in question.
A takedown notice is a legal statement. Under laws such as the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes a false claim can be held liable for damages, and notices are normally signed on the basis that the information in them is accurate. For that reason we decline requests that appear inaccurate, misleading or aimed at silencing someone, and we will tell you why.
We do not remove lawful content. That includes material that may qualify as fair use or fair dealing, parody, criticism, commentary, education, news reporting and matters of public interest. We also do not take action simply because a page is unflattering. Outcomes are always decided by the website, host or search engine receiving the notice, and no one can promise a particular result.
IP Removal is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. If you need an opinion on whether a use is infringing, or you are considering court action, please consult a qualified attorney.
Common questions
Who can ask us to file a notice?
The owner of the copyright or trademark, or an agent with written authority to act for the owner. Companies, individual creators and legal representatives are all welcome, provided we can verify the connection to the work.
Will the content definitely be removed?
Not necessarily. Hosts and platforms make their own decisions, and the person who posted the content may respond with a counter-notice. A complete, accurate notice gives you the best chance, but we never guarantee an outcome.
What if I am not sure the use is infringing?
Tell us what you know. We will read the material, point out anything that looks like fair use or a licensed use, and recommend whether to proceed. For a legal opinion you should speak to an attorney.
What do I need to send for a first review?
A short description of your work, the addresses where it appears without permission, a link to the original, and a document showing ownership or authority. If you are missing some of these, send what you have and we will tell you what else is needed.
Do you work outside the United States?
Yes. Many hosts and search engines accept notices from rights holders anywhere in the world, and we adapt each notice to the law and process that applies to the recipient.
Feedback
We want to hear how our service worked for you, whether it was your first notice or your fiftieth. Tell us what went well, what was confusing and what we should do better. Feedback is read by the same team that handles your cases.
