Challenge

Hundreds of Instagram and Facebook accounts were using the brand's bottle photography and trademarked label design in paid promotional posts. Instagram's trademark reporting form was averaging 14-day response times.

Approach

Parallel UDRP domain action against linked scam sites, Meta trademark report escalation via business support channel, and affiliate network mapping to identify the underlying operator.

Outcome

94% of infringing accounts removed within 72 hours of escalation. Affiliate scam sites delisted from search within 30 days. Repeat infringers added to permanent watchlist.
