Direct Answer
If your trademark is being misused on TikTok or TikTok Shop, preserve the video, live stream, seller account, listing and username before reporting it. Rights holders can use TikTok Shop’s Intellectual Property Protection Center (IPPC) for eligible e-commerce IP complaints, while other TikTok content may use the platform’s applicable IP-reporting mechanisms.
Key Takeaways
- TikTok Shop operates an IP Protection Center for rights holders.
- The IPPC includes an IP Vault for storing proof of ownership and supporting repeated enforcement.
- Videos, live streams, seller accounts and listings can create different infringement evidence.
- IPOPHL has worked directly with TikTok Shop to train Philippine rights holders on the platform’s IP policies.
- Trademark takedown and legal enforcement are separate steps.
Decision Snapshot
Counterfeit TikTok Shop listing? Use the seller/listing evidence and the IPPC.
Video using your logo to impersonate the brand? Preserve the account, video and linked destination, then choose the reporting route matching the conduct. If customers paid the impostor, point them to our guide on what to do after a TikTok scam.
Live stream selling suspected counterfeits? Save the live account, seller information, product references and screenshots as quickly as possible because livestream evidence can disappear.
What Evidence Should You Save?
- Video or livestream URL.
- Username and seller/shop ID.
- Product listing URL and screenshots.
- Use of your trademark, logo, product photos or packaging.
- Your trademark registration records.
- Customer messages, test-purchase evidence or proof of confusion.
How the TikTok Shop IPPC Works
IPOPHL reported that TikTok Shop built the IP Protection Center as an integrated one-stop platform for rights holders. The IPPC includes an IP Vault where businesses or individuals can store documents proving IP ownership, helping streamline repeated submissions.
When to Use IPOPHL Enforcement
If the issue involves recurring counterfeiting, multiple seller accounts or broader commercial harm, rights holders can also report online counterfeiting and piracy to IPOPHL’s Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Office. IPOPHL accepts online shop URLs and references as part of a report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upload my trademark certificate every time?
TikTok Shop’s IPPC includes an IP Vault intended to store ownership documents, which can simplify repeated enforcement.
Can I report a livestream?

What if the seller creates another account?
Maintain a case log tying repeat accounts to the same products, contact details, payment methods or other identifiers and consider escalation beyond individual takedowns.
