Brand and Content Protection Online

Is someone using your designs, photographs or brand without permission? I analyze your case and handle the appropriate takedown requests with platforms and providers.

Does any of this sound familiar?

• You found your illustrations, photographs or texts in an online store you do not recognize.
• Someone is selling products under your brand, or a confusingly similar one, on a marketplace.
• A website has copied your posts, your catalog or your product listings.
• You received an infringement claim and need to decide how to respond.

Who this is for

Creators, artists, photographers, designers, brands and digital businesses, in Ecuador and abroad, who own the rights at issue or act with the owner’s authorization.

Services

• Takedowns and DMCA notices: removal of content that infringes copyright.
• Intellectual property claims on Etsy.
• Intellectual property claims on Amazon.
• Other platforms and websites: eBay, Mercado Libre, Alibaba and AliExpress, social media, video platforms and independent websites. Each platform has its own rules, so the available route is confirmed during the initial assessment. For independent websites, the request goes to the site operator or to the provider that can actually act on the content; a domain registrar or a content delivery network cannot always remove material hosted by a third party.

Complementary services

• Cease-and-desist letters.
• Organization and preservation of digital evidence.
• Monitoring of reported links and possible re-uploads, within an agreed scope.
• Preventive review of content and commercial publications.
• Assessment of and responses to claims received, including counter-notices.
• Search engine de-indexing requests where there are grounds for them.

What is included, and its limits

The service covers analysis of the affected right, review of ownership and evidence, choice of route, authorized preparation and filing of the claim, and follow-up.

• Results, removal times, damages and account closures cannot be guaranteed: each platform decides under its own policies and the applicable law.
• Handling matters with platforms and providers is not court representation in another country. If a case requires a lawyer admitted in another jurisdiction, I will tell you.
• Intellectual property claims are never used to remove legitimate criticism or lawful content.
• Documenting evidence supports a claim; it is not an expert report or a digital forensic analysis.

Key distinctions

• Removal at source: the website or platform deletes the content.
• Disabling a listing: the platform deactivates an ad, an offer or a listing.
• Geographic restriction: the content is no longer shown in certain countries.
• De-indexing: a search engine stops showing the link, but the content still exists on the original site.

Hypothetical example

Hypothetical example: an illustrator finds her designs printed on T-shirts sold in an Etsy shop and on the seller’s own website. After verifying authorship with the original files, a report is filed on Etsy and a notice is sent to the website’s hosting provider. If any page remains live, de-indexing is considered.

Documents to start the assessment

• Public links to the allegedly infringing content.
• Links or files showing your original work or trademark, with dates if possible.
• Trademark or copyright registrations, if any.
• Licenses or authorizations you have granted to others.

Please do not send passwords, identity documents or confidential material in your first message. If documents are needed, I will suggest a suitable channel.

How I work

1. Initial assessment. We review what was published, where, and which right may be affected.
2. Review of rights and evidence. We verify ownership, licenses, authorizations and proof.
3. Choice of route. We select the appropriate mechanism: platform, provider, search engine or direct demand.
4. Authorized preparation and filing. I prepare the claim and file it only with your express authorization.
5. Follow-up. I handle responses, requests for information and rejections.
6. Next steps. If there is a counter-notice, a re-upload or a refusal, we assess the alternatives.

Frequently asked questions

• Does my work or brand need to be registered? It depends on the right. Copyright protection does not depend on registration, and the U.S. Copyright Office states that no registration is needed to send a DMCA notice. For trademarks, many platforms require a mark registered in the relevant territory. We review this at the outset.
• Can I file the claim myself? Yes, rights owners can. Advice helps you choose the right route, reduce rejections and avoid improper claims, which can have consequences for the person filing them.
• Do you handle cases outside Ecuador? Yes, for matters handled with platforms and providers, subject to the applicable law, the protected territory and their procedures.
• Will the other party see my details? Possibly. Some procedures pass the claimant’s details to the reported party, and some services publish copies of notices; Google, for example, may send them to the Lumen database.

Sending an inquiry does not mean the engagement has been accepted, nor does it automatically file a claim. The information on this page is general and is no substitute for an analysis of each case.
