Back to case studies
The problem
A copycat site duplicated a business name, brand colours and a confusingly similar domain extension.
Scope
Copycat website, payment processing, IP ownership evidence and follow-on infringing URLs.
Actions taken
- Verified IP ownership and prepared tailored evidence.
- Submitted targeted takedown and payment-channel requests.
- Continued enforcement after the first site was disabled.
The outcome
Payment processing was suspended, the copycat website was disabled, and follow-on infringing URLs were removed.
- Payment capability was suspended within one week in the historical matter.
- The copycat website was disabled by week two.
- A further 150-plus infringing URLs were removed after re-engagement.
Timeframe: Initial action within two weeks
