Today, one of the leading SEO companies, Oneupweb (www.oneupweb.com) announced the launch of a new trademark infringement monitoring tool. It is the last addition to already successful marketing analytics tool, ROI trax® http://www.roitrax.com.

The tool will benefit the companies that work hard to create strong, well-known brands with great reputations. Consumers use these brand names as keywords on search engines like Google, Yahoo! or MSN, hoping to research or buy those brands and need to be protected from trademark infringement.

"Every time someone intentionally or unintentionally hijacks your brand, a part of your brand equity diminishes," says Lisa Wehr, Oneupweb President. "Most marketing professionals don't realize what a problem this is."

The appeal of Oneupweb's new trademark infringement reporting tool is that it hunts through search engine results, reviews the pay-per-click ads and ferrets out instances of trademark infringement daily. The core of the tool functioning is to take snapshots that can be used as evidence to challenge the misuse of the brand.
