What Counts as Counterfeit or Online Infringement?
Online infringement includes any unauthorized use of your brand, logo, product images, or trademarked terms in digital spaces. Common threats include: Fake products using your logo or name; Amazon or Etsy sellers imitating your listings; Imported knockoffs sold under your brand; Instagram shops or TikTok stores copying your identity; Domain name theft or impersonation websites; Stolen photos or product designs. These are not just annoyances — they are federal IP violations under the Lanham Act, DMCA, and state unfair competition laws.

FAQ
What’s the difference between infringement and counterfeiting?
Infringement is unauthorized use of a trademark. Counterfeiting is a specific type involving fake goods that pretend to be genuine products. Counterfeiting carries higher penalties.
Do I need a trademark registration to stop online infringement?
It helps. Most platforms like Amazon require proof of rights— a federal USPTO registration speeds up enforcement.
How quickly can you remove a counterfeit listing?
Often within 24–72 hours, depending on the platform and severity. Some takedowns may require multiple steps or legal escalations.
Can I sue a counterfeiter in court?
Yes. We handle federal lawsuits for counterfeit damages, injunctions, and domain seizures. But most clients prefer fast, targeted removals first.
What if the seller is overseas?
Many are. We’re experienced in handling international takedowns and working with U.S. Customs to block imports.
