Brand Protection
When unauthorized parties use your trademarks or other intellectual property in their search ads, sites, email messages or URLs, your brand can suffer. Criminals and opportunists are increasingly taking advantage of the Internet’s global reach and inherent anonymity to hijack corporate brands for their own profit.
The deception begins when trademarked language, logos, and other content appear in meta tags, websites and pay-per-click ads to divert traffic to competitors and other unauthorized sites. These fraudsters use trademarks to claim affiliation where none exists, potentially linking your brand with undesirable content or unauthorized sales—and eroding brand equity, revenues and customer trust.
