Protect Your Brand: Detect Unauthorized Asset Use with AI
Continuously scan the web for logo misuse, counterfeit listings, and brand impersonations. AI flags infringements in minutes and recommends enforcement actions—cutting 2–6 hours of manual work to a 5-minute workflow.
Executive Summary
AI-powered brand protection detects unauthorized use of your trademarks and creative assets across marketplaces, social platforms, and websites. Automated scanning, visual and textual matching, and legal-ready evidence accelerate takedowns and protect brand equity.
How Does AI Catch Brand Asset Infringements Faster?
Computer vision and NLP compare live web content to your approved asset library (logos, product images, slogans), score likelihood of infringement, and package evidence with enforcement recommendations for rapid action.
Within Compliance & Ethics, this replaces periodic manual searches with continuous monitoring, alert routing, and standardized takedown playbooks aligned with legal and brand governance.
What Changes with Continuous Monitoring?
🔴 Current Process (4 Steps, 2–6 Hours)
- Asset monitoring setup & scanning (1–2h)
- Infringement detection & analysis (1–2h)
- Legal assessment & validation (30m–1h)
- Enforcement action planning (30m–1h)
🟢 Process with AI (2 Steps, ~5 Minutes)
- Automated asset scanning & infringement detection (~3m)
- Legal validation & enforcement recommendations (~2m)
TPG standard practice: Maintain a single source of truth for approved assets, auto-tag evidence with timestamps & URLs, and pre-map takedown workflows (platform forms, WHOIS, marketplace portals).

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as “unauthorized use” of brand assets?
Use of your protected marks, logos, product images, or slogans without permission—especially in counterfeit listings, phishing sites, social impersonations, or misleading ads.
How do you reduce false positives?
We maintain a curated asset registry, set match thresholds by asset type, and require multiple signals (visual + text + domain reputation) before escalation.
Can the system generate legal-ready evidence?
Yes—alerts include screenshots, URLs, timestamps, WHOIS or seller details when available, and a recommended takedown path (platform form, host, or registrar).
Where do alerts go?
Alerts route to Brand/Legal channels or ticketing with owner, SLA, and playbook steps. High-severity cases can auto-page responders.
How quickly will we see impact?
Most teams move from ad hoc spot-checks to continuous coverage in the first sprint, with takedown rates improving as playbooks standardize.
