Automated brand protection platform that uses blockchain to certify IP rights, monitors the web for infringements, and auto-sends DMCA takedown complaints. Ukrainian-founded startup (Igor Makushinsky, Igor Hludov) based in Wrocław, Poland via Poland Prize program. Techstars 2022 graduate. PitchBook says founded 2020 (frontmatter says 2022). 2-10 employees, $1.1M funding. Targets brand owners and IP law firms needing affordable automated infringement monitoring. Has a crypto token ($LAWD) for community-driven infringement reporting — unusual and potentially concerning for regulated buyers. 10 Capterra reviews (5.0/5) are the only independent signal, all from 2022. Not listed in any major brand protection comparison article. Completely absent from the competitive conversation where Red Points, Corsearch, and MarqVision dominate. Very niche: primarily serves brand owners, not practicing attorneys. Keyword ‘lawyerd’ conflated with misspellings of ‘lawyers’.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Lawyerd is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Lawyerd addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Startup with 3-5 trademarks has no affordable way to track filing dates, renewal deadlines, and office action responses — enterprise IP management tools start at $50K+/year and are designed for portfolios of thousands
Professional photographer discovers their images being used without permission on 50+ websites — can't afford to hire an IP attorney for each infringement at $300-500/hour, doesn't know the law well enough to send proper demand letters, and the infringers ignore informal 'please take it down' emails
Law firm handles entity formations and foreign qualifications for clients expanding into new states — each state has different forms, fees, name availability rules, and processing times, and one missed foreign qualification means the client can't legally operate in that state and the deal stalls
Small brand owner discovers their logo is being used on 30 different marketplace listings across Alibaba, Amazon, and Etsy — their IP attorney quoted $5,000 to send takedown notices to each platform, and by the time the first batch comes down, 20 new listings appear
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Lawyerd
Brand owner or IP attorney identifies potential infringement. IP rights need to be certified/documented. Monitoring begins for new infringements across web and marketplaces.
After Lawyerd
After automated detection, DMCA takedown notices sent to hosting providers/platforms. Results tracked. New infringements trigger re-monitoring cycle.
Integrations & hand-offs
IP rights certified on blockchain → Automated web monitoring → Infringement detected → Automated DMCA takedown → Results tracked. No documented integrations with IP management platforms (Anaqua, CPA Global) or law firm practice management systems.
