Evidence guide

What belongs in a copycat website evidence pack?

Use a compact, reproducible file that a platform reviewer can understand quickly.

Case identity

  • Your legal or trading name and your relationship to the original store.
  • The canonical original URL and exact suspected URL.
  • The date and time each public page was captured.

Page-level facts

  • Resolved URL, HTTP status, title, description, and response metadata.
  • Readable excerpts and cryptographic hashes for captured HTML.
  • Side-by-side references to specific copied text, imagery, logos, or layout.

Rights and context

  • Registration numbers when applicable, or links showing first publication.
  • Original source files or dated product photography records.
  • Concrete customer-confusion reports, with personal information redacted.

Submission history

Record which provider received the report, the category selected, submission date, reference number, response, and next review date. Do not publicly publish sensitive evidence packs.
