As an option to the Standard DMCA Takedown notice, Image Protect has developed the
IPShare™ technology - an interactive online image format with in-image advertising, hot links,
social sharing and dynamic messaging. This image format makes it impossible to steal the
image by either downloading or screenshot/screen printing. This new model allows us to sell inimage
advertising, which we share a portion of the proceeds to the creator. The model works
similar to the DMCA Takedown notice, but instead of requesting a removal of the content, we
ask to replace the image with our proprietary embed code image. It is a win-win for all parties,
the creator enjoys revenue from converted CPM and CPC models, and the website/blog owner
enjoys the use of the image without fees or penalties.
When an image is found and verified to be unlicensed by the website owner, a post usage
license is created. This gives the infringer the opportunity to purchase a proper license, rather
than facing a federal copyright lawsuit. Post usage licensing fees are typically 2x the original
license fee, or an average of $1000. If the infringer does not accept the post-licensing fee, the
case is transferred to an attorney in the country of the infringement to pursue a settlement within
the courts.
Image Protect has simplified the application process with the US Copyright Office. We help
administer the registration process by completing all of the correct forms with the correct
information and submitting the completed forms with images for registration. Once this process
is completed, Image Protect notifies the rights owner by email that their registration has been
submitted and received by the U.S. Copyright Office. This date becomes the registration date
for their work. Once the registration has been approved, the US Copyright Office will physically
mail the Certificate of Registration directly to them at the address they provide.
