CitizenHawk’s TypoSquasher solution allows companies to protect one of their most valuable assets – their brand – and to reclaim millions in revenues lost through “accidental traffic” currently monetized by fraudulent domain holders through pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, gambling, pop-ups, spyware, affiliate fraud and other spurious means.

TypoSquasher automatically crawls the Web to search for possible misspellings of your domain name and captures necessary evidence required to act on each trademark infringement. Key evidence includes the registrant's contact information and a screenshot of each offending web site. The screenshot also acts as forensic evidence should you ever need to prove that a cybersquatter changed the content of the infringing site simply to avoid prosecution – a common practice.

The TypoSquasher solution ensures a comprehensive search that is far more thorough and timely than you could possibly accomplish by hand. And because TypoSquasher automates the legal “takedown” process, companies save time and money by not having to engage in expensive outside legal action until it is the last option.
