Social Media Brand Protection
Introducing KnowEm’s mission to protect your brand or
business from IP infringement, cyber jacking and
misrepresentation on hundreds of Social Networks
A Vanity URL, or Username, is
an extension of a domain that
can be created on a Social
Network. These can be created
by anyone on a first come-first
serve basis:
http://instagram.com/Nike
Social Media Brand Protection
Domain Names consist of the
very traditional and familiar
marketing presence of “dot
coms” and other extensions
(such as .net, .co, etc.)
http://knowem.com
A Vanity SubDomain is offered
just like a Username to anyone
on a Social Network, except the
brand or Username is placed
before the domain name:
http://redbull.tumblr.com/
Internet Properties for your Brand or Trademark
There are now 3 major types of properties which can represent your brand on the web. Those are:
● Domain Names available for purchase and protected by the UDRP.
● Vanity URLs, which are freely available to the public and are not protected by any central authority.
● Vanity Subdomains, which are also free and also not protected by the UDRP.
Social Media Brand Protection
How the UDRP Protects your Domain Names
The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (or UDRP) is a process established by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the resolution of disputes regarding the
registration of internet domain names.
Basically, it guarantees that no one can claim a domain name which violates your brand or trademark
rights. If someone does claim YourBrand.com, you can contact the UDRP and have them take it down.
Social Media has NO Central Authority or UDRP to Protect You
The UDRP only applies to domain names, not social media. Anyone can go to Twitter or Facebook and
claim your brand or trademark and they have every legal right to do so. There is no one central authority
you can contact to resolve the dispute of ownership or have the username removed.
Sure, you can contact the owners of Twitter or Facebook (good luck trying that), but what about the other
500 Social Networks active today, and the ones being launched tomorrow?
The only protection you have in Social Media is registering your name
before someone else does.
How Are You Being Represented?
The Kanye West Syndrome
That’s not so bad, except for the fact that
the fake @kanye account is using his real
picture and name.
This is allowed by Twitter, and they will
not delete this account, as long as he
identifies that he is “not kanye west”.
This person grabbed the name
@kanye on Twitter first.
Here’s an example of what happens
when you don’t register your name on
a Social Network before someone else
got a chance to grab it.
As a result, the real Kanye West
had to settle for @kanyewest.
Does It Really Matter?
Social Media: The Big Players
By now you’ve probably heard of and are already using the largest Social Networks for your brand. In
case you’re not, here’s an idea of their popularity:
99% of US online specialty
retailers use YouTube, up
from 93% in 2012
(source: L2)
Facebook users share 2.5B
pieces of content on the site
each day
(source: Nielsen)
25% of consumers who
complain about products on
Twitter expect a response
within 1 hour
(source: Amex OPEN Forum)
43% of US marketers have
found a customer through
LinkedIn
(source: A Sales Guy Consulting)
Where KnowEm Fits In
Social Media: Identifying The Up and Comers
One of KnowEm’s greatest values to your brand is reserving that brand on Social Networks before they
become incredibly popular and it’s already taken. We add about 20 new sites on average each month as
soon as they launch, insuring that all our clients’ trademark or brand names are reserved immediately.
