Meta Cracks Down on IP Infringement with Enhanced Tools and Resources

Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is taking a major step towards safeguarding businesses and brands online with the launch of a revamped Brand Rights Protection suite and a brand new Intellectual Property Reporting Center. These additions to Meta’s arsenal against online infringement make it easier than ever for businesses to identify, report, and combat unauthorized use of their intellectual property (IP).

Streamlined Reporting and Enhanced Detection

The New Version of Brand Rights Protection now resides within the convenient Meta Business Suite, where it seamlessly integrates with other essential business tools. This enhanced version boasts smarter AI-powered matching, allowing for more accurate and efficient detection of infringing content across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Businesses can now:

• Save frequently used searches for quicker access later.
• Conduct cross-surface searches to simultaneously scan all Meta platforms for infringing content.
• Upload a wider range of reference files to improve the accuracy of matching.
