The quiet problem behind original work.
Copycats don’t send a warning.
Copies travel beyond the obvious places.
Your most popular work can appear across marketplaces and stores you have never heard of.
Manual searching steals creative time.
Repeatedly searching marketplaces takes time away from designing and growing your brand.
Late discoveries are harder to untangle.
By the time you find a copy yourself, it may already be attracting traffic, confusing buyers and pulling sales away from your original work.
How it works
Three steps. One clearer view.
Make monitoring part of your routine without turning your week into a search project.

Proof from a real scan
Is yourartwork for sale in someone else’s store?
Steph’s original rabbits-on-scooters artwork appeared in an Etsy listing selling a digital download. Copywatch brought the original and potential match together, giving her a clear result to review and the details needed to take action.

A note from the founder
It started with Steph’s artwork.
My partner, Steph, kept finding her artwork being sold on Etsy after coming across it on Pinterest. Once she found the listings, she was usually able to get the copied designs removed pretty quickly. The difficult part was finding them in the first place.
She already had plenty to worry about while running her creative business. I told her I could build something to make the searching, reviewing and follow-up easier to manage. Copywatch grew from that promise: helping you find possible copies and craft a takedown notice you can review and send.

FAQ
Useful answers before you start.
Copywatch is monitoring and investigation software. It does not provide legal advice or make infringement decisions.
What does Copywatch monitor?
Copywatch imports the products you select from your public Shopify catalogue, then runs regular visual and product-name searches across the open web. It surfaces possible matches for you to review.
Does a match prove that somebody copied me?
No. A visual or listing similarity is an investigation lead, not proof of copying or copyright infringement. You decide what deserves closer review and whether to seek professional advice.
Which stores can I connect?
Copywatch currently imports publicly accessible Shopify catalogues. The store must be reachable without a customer login, and you should only connect catalogues you are authorised to manage.
What happens when a possible copy is found?
It appears in your review queue with the source, date and available context. You can dismiss it or mark it for action, add private notes and keep your decision attached if the same URL appears again.
Can Copywatch help me take a listing down?
Yes. When you decide a listing needs action, Copywatch uses the saved details and your notes to draft a calm takedown notice for you to review, edit and send. It never contacts the seller automatically or guarantees that a listing will be removed.
Your next copycat may already be selling.
