Frequently Asked Questions about VAAAM

We are not publicly displaying your visual assets anywhere or share them with any third party. All your assets are securely stored and managed in a centralized ledger that only you and our legal team can access.

Our case curation service pre-classifies and filters findings that have the highest probability of success. This process  helps reduce your work load by prioritising cases that:

  1. Are legally and commercially viable.
  2. Focus on images where the user can be identified.
  3. Occur in our areas where the probability of collection is highest.
Post-licensing is when we reach out to the image user in good faith to notify them that our client could not find a record of a license for their use. A post-license, or retroactive license, covers a usage that has already occurred. Suppose someone hasn’t already got a license to use an image or other copyrighted work. In that case, post-licensing will help resolve the unlicensed use without the need to engage in legal proceedings.
In case of no response or resolution, one of our legal partners takes over communication to settle the case before any court action. If that does not deliver the preferred result, the case proceeds to the court.
A case cycle usually lasts between 15 days to 3 months. Still, it may take longer depending on the phase and cooperation from the infringer.

We use a number of  image recognition and web-crawling technologies to maximize search results. Our smart web crawlers search millions of websites globally to collect active data about the usage of an image online.

VAAAM provides services in over 44 countries worldwide and is expanding rapidly.
