DMCA takedown service
A DMCA takedown service that finds the copies too
Someone is selling with your product photos. Knockoff watches your catalog across Amazon, Temu, eBay, Etsy, AliExpress, Walmart and the open web, confirms every match against the seller's own listing gallery, and prepares the complete takedown notice. You approve it and file it in one click.
From $99 a month. Monthly billing, no contract, 30-day money-back guarantee.

What a DMCA takedown service does
The DMCA is the US law that lets a copyright owner tell a platform to remove copied work. Every marketplace and host has a form for it. Filing that form is the last five minutes of a much longer job, and the rest of the job is why takedown services exist.
The real work runs in four parts. Find the copies, which means knowing they exist at all. Prove them, which means showing the photo on the seller's page is the same photo from your store. Write the notice, which is a sworn legal statement with specific required elements, not a complaint form; our free DMCA takedown notice template shows all six. Then watch what happens, because a removed listing has a habit of coming back under a new name.
Most services pick one part of that. A per-notice freelancer will type up what you already found. A law firm will write a strong letter at an hourly rate, once you have handed them the URLs and the screenshots. Both leave the finding and the watching with you, which is exactly where the hours go when six sellers are running your photos at the same time.
Knockoff covers all four parts for a flat monthly price. It is software with a person attached, not a law firm, and it does not give legal advice. It prepares notices under the DMCA process that you sign and send yourself.
What you actually receive
Every confirmed match arrives as a finished case, not an alert. Ask any takedown service what lands in your inbox and you should get a list this specific.
- The exact notice. Written out in full, addressed to the right platform, with every element the form requires already filled in.
- An archived copy of the infringing page. Saved as it looked when we found it, so an edit or a deletion later cannot erase what was there.
- A timestamped screenshot. Dated proof of the live listing, in the record before the seller starts moving.
- A side-by-side comparison. Your original next to the copy, so the match is obvious to whoever reads the claim.
- A link to the right form. The platform's own reporting portal, so filing is one click and not an afternoon of searching.
A match is confirmed only when your photo appears in the seller's own listing gallery. If it cannot be confirmed against your own work, the case stops before it ever reaches you.

Two people read every takedown
The fear with an automated takedown service is a bad claim going out under your name and a platform holding you responsible for it. That fear is reasonable. A DMCA notice is signed under penalty of perjury, and the seller you report can push back with a counter notice.
So there are two human gates, and neither one can be skipped. You approve every case before a takedown is prepared, and you see the evidence when you decide. Then a Knockoff reviewer reads the exact notice before it is ready to send. Only after both do you file, and you are the one who files. Automated checks can only remove a match from your queue, never add one.
Legitimate resellers of your own goods are off limits. If a seller is genuinely reselling what you made, the case stops. Knockoff exists to remove copies of your work, not to clear your distribution channel.

TEMU-4471-B
After you file, the case keeps its own record: filed, acknowledged, removed. If the listing reappears, a relist watch opens a follow-up package with fresh evidence. Everyone in this category counts first removals. Relists are the ones that keep costing you.
Marketplace listings and cloned storefronts
Stolen photos show up in two places. The first is a marketplace listing, where a seller has lifted your gallery and undercut your price. The second is a whole storefront built to look like yours, often at a fraction of the price and often with nothing ever shipped. The buyer blames you either way.
Both are copyright cases, and both route through the host platform. If the copy lives on a Shopify store, the walkthrough is here: how to file a DMCA takedown with Shopify, including what the form requires and what happens if the seller files a counter notice. Copycat storefront detection is part of the Dominate plan, which catches lookalike stores the day they go live. If you would rather file everything yourself, here is where each platform takes a copyright report.
Knockoff also watches for lookalike US trademark applications and for AI assistants pointing shoppers at counterfeit sites instead of yours. Those lanes are monitoring, not takedowns, and they exist because theft rarely stays in one lane. See the four steps from connected store to filed takedown.
What it costs
Enterprise brand protection is sold on a demo call and an annual contract. Knockoff is a signup form and a monthly price. Prepared takedowns are uncapped on Enforce and Dominate, so a bad month does not become a bigger invoice.

What Knockoff does not do
Worth reading before you pay for anything in this category, here or elsewhere.
- It does not file for you. You file every notice yourself, in one click, through the platform's own form. Knockoff is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice. If you would rather do the whole thing by hand, write the notice yourself for free.
- It does not guarantee removals. Platforms act on complete, accurate claims and decide for themselves. That standard is what every case is prepared to, and no honest service can promise the outcome.
- It works with Shopify stores only today. Your catalog is what gets watched, and the connection is Shopify, one store per account.
- Trademark watch covers US filings. New US applications that look confusingly close to your marks are flagged when they publish. There is no international coverage yet.
- Design-clone detection is advisory. When a copycat re-shoots or regenerates your photos, Knockoff can recognize the product itself and tell you. It never turns that alone into a takedown.
Questions
What does a DMCA takedown service do? +
It handles the work between noticing the theft and getting the copy removed. That means finding where your photos and listings ended up, proving the copy is yours, writing the notice the platform requires, and tracking what happens after it is sent. Some services only send notices you hand them. Knockoff does the finding and the proving too, then hands you a finished case to approve.
How much does a DMCA takedown service cost? +
Knockoff is $99 a month to watch your catalog and $299 a month for prepared takedowns with no monthly cap. Per-takedown freelancers charge by the notice, which gets expensive the moment one copycat becomes six. Law firms bill by the hour. Knockoff is a flat monthly price you can read on the pricing page, with no contract and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Do I need a lawyer or a registered trademark to file a DMCA notice? +
Neither. Copyright exists the moment you take the photo or write the description, and a DMCA notice is a copyright claim you are entitled to make yourself. A registered trademark matters for brand-name and logo cases, which are a different report on a different form. Knockoff is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
Does Knockoff file the takedown for me? +
No. Knockoff prepares the complete notice and the evidence, and you file it in one click through the platform's own form. The platform hears from the rights owner directly, which is what the process is built around, and your filing record stays yours.
Marketplaces have free reporting forms. Why pay for a service? +
The forms are real and Knockoff routes you straight to them. What the forms do not do is tell you a copy exists, find the other five sellers running the same photos, prove the match, or write the notice. That labor stays with you, and it is the part that eats your week.
What happens when the listing comes back? +
A relist watch runs on every filed case. When the same seller reappears under a new listing or a new store, a follow-up package opens automatically with fresh evidence, so you are not rebuilding the case from scratch every time.
Which stores can use this today? +
Shopify stores. You connect your store domain, your catalog syncs, and your product photos are covered from that moment. Other platforms are coming, and we will say so here when they arrive.
