Verify Ownership.
Protect Your Creative Assets.
Intellectual property errors lead to costly lawsuits and takedowns. Hire a dedicated Copyright Research VA to audit your media library, track usage rights, verify public domain status, and manage DMCA documentation while you create.
We research across global registries:
Expert Due Diligence.
Don't guess on usage rights. Our VAs follow rigorous verification SOPs to ensure your brand is built on a legally sound foundation.
Ownership Identification
Tracking down the original creator or copyright holder of images, videos, or code snippets to ensure proper attribution or to request commercial licensing.
Public Domain Verification
Meticulously checking publication dates and renewal filings to confirm if a piece of content is legally "free to use" under public domain or Creative Commons.
Infringement Scanning
Using reverse-image search and keyword-matching tools to find sites using your original content without permission, preparing takedown lists for your PM.
Asset Rights Library
Organizing your stock photos, music licenses, and font permissions into a centralized hub so you never lose track of what is paid for and what is expiring.
DMCA Notice Preparation
Drafting formal DMCA takedown notices and managing the administrative back-and-forth with hosting providers to remove infringing material from the web.
License Renewal Mgmt
Monitoring the "Usage Terms" of your purchased assets. We alert you before a limited-time license (e.g. font or software) expires to prevent lapse in legal cover.
Managed Compliance vs. Legal Blindspots.
Creative projects are often torpedoed by unverified asset usage. Don't let an unmanaged freelancer gamble with your brand's legal safety.
Unmanaged Support
-
"Google Images" Fallacy
Unmanaged freelancers often assume an image is free because it's on Google. This leads to automated lawsuits from Getty or Reuters.
-
Missing Proof of License
When an infringement claim arrives, freelancers often can't find the original receipt or license PDF, leaving you with zero defense.
-
No Continuity
If your researcher disappears, your knowledge of which content is "Safe to Use" disappears with them.
