Detect.
Document.
Demand.
Defend.
Four steps. No exceptions. Every Right Shield engagement follows this protocol — from the first automated scan to the last legal escalation.
Each step has teeth.
Automated detection across every surface where infringement hides.
Our scanning pipeline runs continuously across 500+ marketplaces, torrent indexers, social platforms, domain registries, and app stores. Perceptual image hashing identifies counterfeit product listings even when infringers alter colors, crop logos, or watermark over originals. NLP-based trademark matching catches confusingly similar brand names across scripts and languages. No manual queue — every new infringement enters the pipeline within hours of appearing.

Forensic-grade evidence that survives a courtroom, not just a platform queue.
Documentation is the phase most services skip. We do not. Every flagged infringement generates a timestamped evidence package: full-page screenshots with HTTP response metadata, WHOIS snapshots, seller account data, pricing and shipping records, and a cryptographic hash chain that proves the evidence has not been altered. This chain-of-custody protocol satisfies the evidentiary requirements of US Federal courts, UDRP panels, and major platform trust-and-safety teams. When an infringer files a counter-notice, our evidence package is the difference between a reinstatement and a sustained removal.

Legal notices with the weight to compel compliance, not just request it.
DMCA notices drafted by attorneys are processed differently than automated submissions. Platforms have internal triage systems — a notice that cites specific statutory provisions, includes a competent evidence package, and names the authorized representative correctly is prioritized. Our attorneys draft every notice to the specific legal standard required by each platform and jurisdiction: §512(c) for hosting providers, §512(d) for search engines, platform-specific identity-violation policies for social accounts, and UDRP complaint format for domain disputes. We maintain direct relationships with trust-and-safety teams at the 30 highest-volume platforms — your notice does not enter a general queue.

Escalation to legal enforcement when platforms don't comply.
When a platform fails to act on a properly filed notice — or when an infringer files a counter-notice — we escalate. That means our IP attorneys, not an account manager following a script. We file UDRP petitions with WIPO and NAF for domain disputes, coordinate customs recordation with US CBP and EUIPO to intercept counterfeit shipments at the border, and prepare criminal referrals to federal law enforcement for organized counterfeit rings. We also maintain records of platform non-compliance to support future litigation against the platform itself under secondary liability theories where warranted.
