In an effort to combat counterfeiting on its platform, Facebook has announced a new IP reporting tool, the Facebook Commerce and Ads IP Tool. The Commerce and Ads IP Tool allows trademark owners who have been accepted into the program to search in ads, Marketplace posts, and group sale posts to identify any content that infringes upon their intellectual property rights. To apply for this new program, rights holders must complete the application form located at https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/423912757973851.
