YouTube provides several ways to report brand infringement, depending on the nature of the violation. If the issue involves copyright infringement, you can use the Copyright Removal Request form to submit a takedown notice. For trademark violations, YouTube’s Trademark Complaint Form allows brand owners to report unauthorized use of their trademarks.

If a channel is impersonating your brand or misleading viewers by falsely claiming affiliation, you can report it under YouTube’s impersonation policy. It’s important to provide detailed evidence of your claim, including trademark registration numbers and proof of ownership. Since brand misuse can be an ongoing issue, Trama helps brands monitor YouTube for potential violations and assists with filing reports effectively.
