Some impersonators ignore a takedown request. That's when we move from a request to a legal action, cease and desist letters, formal oppositions, and domain disputes, backed by your registered trademark.
Some hosts only act on a formal legal notice, not a takedown request, and every day an infringer stays live compounds the damage. Every action below is stronger backed by a registered trademark, which is why we handle both under one team.
Use when: an infringer ignores your takedown request and you need a direct legal notice to force a response.
A formal legal notice demanding an infringer stop, sent directly to the operator or their registrar and host.
Use when: a domain is impersonating you and the registrar won't act on an informal request.
Formal proceedings to reclaim or shut down a domain being used to impersonate you.
Use when: you'd rather resolve a dispute directly than escalate to a full legal proceeding.
Direct negotiation with an infringer or affiliate to resolve a dispute without escalating to litigation.
Use when: someone else is trying to register a trademark that conflicts with yours, before it's granted.
Challenging a conflicting application before it registers, protecting your position in a market.
Use when: a conflicting US application is pending and you want to flag it before it's even published.
A formal objection filed during another party's US trademark application, based on your existing rights.
Use when: a conflicting mark has already been registered and needs removing from the register.
Petitioning to cancel an existing registered trademark that conflicts with or infringes on yours.
Not bundled into a Protection Plan, since enforcement work varies too much case to case to price up front. It's handled one of two ways.
A single cease and desist, opposition, or domain dispute, handled and quoted individually with no ongoing commitment.

A takedown request asks a host, registrar, or platform to remove content. Enforcement goes further, formal legal notices, opposition filings, and dispute proceedings, used when a takedown request alone doesn't resolve the issue.
When the host or operator ignores an initial takedown request, or when the infringing party is identifiable and a direct legal notice is likely to be more effective.
It varies by jurisdiction and whether the other party contests it, typically months rather than weeks. We handle the filing and manage the timeline for you.
No, but it strengthens the notice considerably. A registered mark gives every enforcement action real legal standing.
We escalate, to the host or registrar directly, to a formal dispute proceeding, or to litigation-adjacent options depending on the case.
Yes. Enforcement can be directed at the host, registrar, or platform even when the operator is anonymous, and we build the case as their identity surfaces.
Each action is scoped and quoted individually, since a cease and desist and a domain dispute involve very different work. You'll always see the fee before anything is filed.
We manage the case up to litigation-adjacent options and bring in specialist partners for court proceedings, staying your single point of contact throughout.
No published rate card, no commitment. Send us the details and we'll tell you plainly what it takes.
