Squashing trademark infringement.

Online trademark infringement has become a major issue for e-commerce retailers, brand holders, trademark lawyers, and the online advertising industry. With up to 20% of all hand-typed URLs misspelled, a large market has emerged for “typo” domain names that exploit and monetize accidental traffic at the company’s expense. This practice, known as “cybersquatting” or “typosquatting,” costs brand holders millions of dollars each year in lost revenues. CitizenHawk’s patent-pending technology crawls the web, identifying instances of trademark infringement. Then they send notices of fraudulent activity to the domain owner, interrupting the flow of money being paid to the wrong people, and automate legal action to get fraudulent sites shut down. Founded in 2006, CitizenHawk has become the leading global provider of digital brand-management solutions.
