Use Case · Brand Abuse

Your brand is being used
without your permission.

Brand abuse — unauthorized logo use, trademark violations, counterfeit products and fraudulent advertising — happens at scale across the internet every day. Most of it goes undetected. Notmining monitors every channel where your brand can be misused, alerting you the moment abuse is confirmed.

The Problem

How brand abuse damages your business

Brand abuse isn't just a legal problem — it's a revenue problem, a trust problem and a security problem. Here's what it looks like.

🖼️

Unauthorized Logo & Asset Use

Your logo, brand name and visual identity appear in fraudulent ads, fake websites and scam campaigns — lending your brand's credibility to content you have no control over.

🛒

Counterfeit Products & Unauthorized Resellers

Fake versions of your products and unauthorized resellers undercut your pricing, damage your quality reputation and divert revenue — often at scale across multiple platforms simultaneously.

🔍

Trademark Misuse in Paid Advertising

Competitors and bad actors bid on your brand name in paid search, running ads that divert your customers to competing products or fraudulent offers — at your expense.

📲

Fraudulent Affiliate & Referral Abuse

Unauthorized affiliates use your brand assets to drive traffic through fraudulent channels — violating your terms, damaging your brand and potentially exposing you to compliance risk.

🌐

Brand Name Squatting

Your brand name is registered as a domain, social handle or app name by third parties — blocking your expansion into new markets and creating confusion among customers.

⚖️

Legal and Compliance Exposure

Undetected brand abuse can create legal liability — particularly when fraudulent use of your brand leads to customer harm that is attributed to your organization.
