What infringement actually costs.
Federal copyright remedies include actual damages plus profits, statutory damages up to $150,000 per willful infringement, and recovery of attorney's fees. Properly registered works convert leverage into settlement velocity.
- Actual damages + infringer's profits (always available)
- Statutory damages: $750–$30,000 per work; $150,000 if willful
- Attorney's fees and costs recoverable for prevailing plaintiffs
- Injunctive relief — cease use and destruction of infringing copies
- Criminal liability for commercial piracy over $1,000 in 180 days
within 72 hours
Choosing the right tool
DMCA Takedown
Best for hosted content (sites, marketplaces, YouTube) where the platform has a designated DMCA agent.
Cease & Desist
Direct demand to the infringer — useful when DMCA isn't available or as escalation.
Customs Recordation
Block physical knockoffs at U.S. ports — cost-effective for product brands.
Federal Lawsuit
When statutory damages or injunctive relief justifies litigation costs.
Trusted by founders, creators, and counsel
"Two cease-and-desist letters and a DMCA later, the knockoff site was gone."
"Customs recordation is the best $400 we've ever spent."
"When we needed to litigate, the case file was already 80% built."
Do I need a registered copyright to send a DMCA?
+
No — DMCA notices don't require registration. But to sue or claim statutory damages, registration is required.
What if the infringer ignores a cease & desist?
+
We escalate to platform-level enforcement, payment processor complaints, or federal litigation depending on the matter.
Can I send my own DMCA?
+
Yes — but improperly drafted notices can expose you to misrepresentation claims under §512(f). Attorney drafting reduces this risk.
How much does enforcement cost?
+
C&D from $499. DMCA from $99. Litigation referrals are matter-specific — most settle pre-suit.
What's the statute of limitations?
+
Civil claims must be filed within 3 years of the infringement; criminal within 5 years.
