Catch trademark issues in your Etsy listings before Etsy does
Scan your listing titles and descriptions for trademark violations, brand name misuse, and risky phrases. Protect your shop from takedowns and suspensions.
Why Etsy sellers need trademark monitoring
Listing takedowns
Etsy removes listings that infringe on registered trademarks — often without warning.
Shop suspension
Repeated IP violations can lead to temporary or permanent shop suspension.
Lost revenue
A suspended listing means zero sales. A suspended shop means your entire income stream stops.

Frequently asked questions
What trademark issues does MarkGuard detect?+
We scan for registered brand names (Disney, Nike, Starbucks, etc.), character names, sports team names, risky phrases like "inspired by" or "replica", and false licensing claims. Our database covers 500+ high-risk terms commonly flagged on Etsy.
Can Etsy really suspend my shop for trademark violations?+
Yes. Etsy takes intellectual property seriously. Listings using trademarked terms without authorization can be removed, and repeated violations can lead to shop suspension. Proactive scanning helps you catch issues before they escalate.
Do I need to connect my Etsy shop to use the free scan?+
No. The free scanner on this page works instantly — just paste your title and description. Connecting your shop (Pro plan) enables automatic monitoring of your entire catalog.
Is this legal advice?+
No. MarkGuard is a screening tool to help you identify potential trademark risks. It does not constitute legal advice. For complex IP questions, consult a trademark attorney.
How is this different from Etsy's own checks?+
Etsy may flag listings after they're published — sometimes days or weeks later. MarkGuard lets you scan before publishing and continuously monitors your catalog so you can fix issues proactively.
