How this newsroom works.

What we cover

Enforcement news from the brand owner’s side: court decisions on takedowns and deindexing, IP-policy changes at platforms and marketplaces, regulator action (DSA, EUIPO, WIPO, USCO), waves of impersonation and scam infrastructure, transparency-report data, and the brand-protection market itself. Items are short — what happened, why it matters, and what to do about it.

Who writes it

Every item is published under the byline of Ihor Makushinsky, senior counsel of the practice, in IP and compliance work since 2014. Items are prepared with research tooling; counsel reviews each one and writes the Counsel’s note — the analysis section — personally. Nothing publishes without it.

Sourcing

Each item links its primary sources — dockets, official releases, policy pages, transparency reports — in a Sources block. We do not republish other outlets’ reporting as our own; where secondary reporting matters, it is named and linked.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected in place, with an updated timestamp on the item. To flag one, write to dmca@lawyerd.net — corrections are reviewed by counsel, not by a mailbox rule.

Tips

Seeing a new scam pattern, a policy change, or enforcement behaviour worth documenting? The same address reaches counsel directly: dmca@lawyerd.net. Confidentiality on request.
