Content Verification Certificate (CVC™)
Leveraging well-known brands without authorization is as simple today as ‘cut and paste’. Online competitors and predators have moved beyond traditional forms of online abuse. Cybersquatting now occurs around the globe in any of the 243 ccTLDs (country code top level domains). Taking the form of common misspellings of well-known brand names and coupled with the fact that such a vast array of brands are now accessible on the Internet, consumers are increasingly using search engines to identify home pages with potentially devastating consequences from a mistyped search.
Moving beyond domain registration infringements, online trademark abuse within site content takes on even more forms, to include unauthorized affiliations, unauthorized use of logos and more. With billions of potential customers, fraudsters use any means possible to leverage brands for commercial purpose.
CVCs provide protection by binding the URL/domain and web page content into a single entity. CVCs can not be used outside of a specified website – if they are they will fail to display. ‘cut and paste’ is no longer an option on your brand.
