The Floridant/10334709

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Floridant -- As intellectual property theft accelerates—from pirated content to deepfakes and impersonation websites—Instant IP today announced the launch of its Instant IP Takedown Service, a new offering designed to help creators and companies remove stolen content quickly and efficiently.

The service marks a significant expansion of Instant IP's mission to protect ideas "at the speed of thought"—now extending beyond protection to enforcement.

"Intellectual Property theft isn't just frustrating—it's damaging," said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Instant IP. "I've personally experienced everything from pirated books to full website impersonation. What shocked me most was how slow and ineffective traditional takedown processes can be. That's why we built a better solution."

A Growing Threat in the Digital Economy

The rise of AI-generated content created a surge in IP violations. Common threats now include:

• Entire websites cloned to confuse customers
• Fake social media accounts impersonating creators
• Pirated courses and digital products distributed without consent
• Deepfakes leveraging name, image, and likeness

For many creators, pursuing removal through traditional hosting providers or registrars can take months—with no guarantee of success.

From Six Months to 24 Hours

After discovering a fraudulent copy of the Instant IP website hosted under a similar domain, Oberbrunner pursued removal through traditional channels, including domain registrars and hosting providers. After six months without resolution, he turned to a specialized enforcement partner.

The result: the fraudulent site was removed in under 24 hours.

"That experience changed everything," Oberbrunner said. "We realized protection alone isn't enough. You need enforcement—and you need it fast."

How the Takedown Service Works

The Instant IP Takedown Service focuses on three primary categories of infringement:

• Pirated Content — Unauthorized distribution of books, courses, or digital assets
• False Websites — Copycat domains designed to mislead users or siphon traffic
• Fake Social Accounts — Impersonation profiles exploiting brand identity

Users submit a request through Instant IP's platform and are connected directly with the enforcement partner. Notably, the service operates on a performance-based model, where users only pay if the takedown is successful.

A New Standard for Creators and Companies
