Show HN: AI system that spots brand trolls before they can strike

https://www.ipdefender.eu/
1•elixon•1h ago
Every day new trademark filings appear that look or sound close to established brands. Some are intentional, some are accidental - both can quietly gain legal standing if you miss the opposition window, leading to costly disputes, forced rebranding, or ongoing licensing pressure.

IP Defender is a solution to infringing trademarks. It monitors new trademark filings across 40+ countries and flags applications that may resemble your brand - visual lookalikes, similar sounding names, and sophisticated character manipulations - so you can act early while it is simple and affordable.

Value in plain terms: protect brand equity, avoid surprise legal costs, keep control of your name, stay ahead of copycats, support expansion with confidence.

• 5 AI watch agents continuously focus on how marks look, sound, and are manipulated

• 11 detection layers work together for precise identification of filings that may resemble your brand

• Analyzes over 22000 character manipulation patterns in textual trademarks

• All monitored countries automatically include international trademarks at no extra cost

• EU countries automatically include EU trademarks registered in the European Union as a whole at no extra cost

• Every plan includes the full technology stack - no upsells, no feature gating

• Scalable coverage and pay-as-you-go pricing that grows with your brand portfolio without complexity

Result: you see risky filings early, respond during the low cost phase, and keep your brand strategy on track.

If your brand matters to your growth, see how IP Defender helps at https://www.ipdefender.eu
