Brand Infringement:

Online brand and trademark infringement has become a pervasive problem. Unscrupulous domain owners, using tactics such as typosquatting, are hijacking consumers and redirecting them from legitimate domains to fraudulent sites specifically created to advance shady pay-per-click schemes and other forms of online fraud.

Negative Consequences:

Companies are losing literally millions of dollars annually while their customers – at a minimum – are becoming frustrated and losing trust.

Typosquatters' primary targets are those companies that have invested the time, money and effort to build strong online brands and establish successful e-commerce operations. Combating them requires assistance from sophisticated professionals using sophisticated technology.

CitizenHawk's Global Domain Recovery Solution:

CitizenHawk helps companies manage and defend their domains through professional Corporate Domain Management services, and employs advanced Online Brand Monitoring services to vigilantly scan the Internet to identify emerging threats.

But CitizenHawk doesn't merely uncover typosquatting schemes. We also respond aggressively with an array of proven domain enforcement tools. We not only shut down infringing sites, but actually reclaim the domains on behalf of trademark owners.

The Process:

Our first step is to evaluate the infringement to assess the severity of the problem. We then pursue a steadily escalating remediation process that includes some or all of the following activities:

• Sending a warning letter to the infringing domain/website owner
• Sending a cease and desist letter.
• Sending take-down notices to the domain's ISP
• Sending policy-violation notices to the search engine (in cases of paid search abuse)
• Gathering evidence of trademark infringement, consolidating cases and then pursuing recourse through the Uniform Domain-Name Resolution Policy (UDRP) process

The Results:

Our results are indisputable. CitizenHawk, the world's largest filer of UDRPs, has prevailed in 99 percent of those cases. We won the largest UDRP ruling in history, recovering 1,017 domains for a single client. Since the beginning of 2011, CitizenHawk has recovered 15,000 typo domains on behalf of our clients. These clients, on average, enjoy a 3 percent increase in traffic and a 20-50 percent jump in average order value as a result of our work.

Pricing:

In the past, the exorbitant costs associated with effective domain enforcement made it highly impractical, but CitizenHawk's automated processes have leveled the playing field. We offer flexible pricing alternatives and in many cases can provide a strictly pay-for-performance option. With this alternative, clients incur no set-up fees and CitizenHawk assumes responsibility for all hard costs, including the expenses associated with UDRP filings.
