Protect My Work has been quite frankly indispensable!
I have huge issues with copyright and the guidance from this website has enabled me to effectively takedown hundreds of links to products which were infringing my copyright - thank you! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any business who have copyright issues, to make this their 'go to' website.

eBay sellers profiting from my work…
I had eBay sellers profiting from my work. Since registering with ProtectMyWork.com and notifying eBay, all offending listings have been removed.

If you self publish, you need this product, it's worth every penny.
I've used protect my work since 2016. I now have 18 publications and wouldn't sleep at night without the protection of Protect My Work. I've been asked several times by Amazon to prove ownership and the certificate is by far the simplest and acceptable way. You never know when or why you might have to prove your work is yours but I would rather not leave it to chance whether I can, it's my income I'm protecting, after all.

Who We Are
Protect My Work was started by two web designers who found that when pitching graphic designs to potential clients, some would steal those designs and have them developed by others agencies. As design creatives we understand the time, love and care you put into your work and how wrong it is for others to steal that work and use for their own gain.
Protect My Work is a strong deterrent against the theft of your work. Once you can quickly prove ownership of your creative work, in most cases, it stops continued use of your work without your permission.
