Creator & Entrepreneur Protection

Someone  copied  your work.

What happened to you?

Two cases, two dedicated investigations. Each one handled personally — not by an automated tool.

// Your creative work deserves to be paid — not copied.

3D Design Theft

Your 3D file is being sold without your permission

You created a model — STL, GLB, 3MF, resin file, digital pattern. Someone is now selling prints of it, or the file itself, on Etsy, eBay, Patreon, MakerWorld or elsewhere. Every download is revenue stolen from you.

  • Manual search across 20+ platforms & private channels: Etsy, eBay, Whatnot, Patreon, MakerWorld, Cults3D, Printables, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, Telegram, Gumroad and more
  • Complete evidence file: timestamped screenshots, URLs, seller profiles, estimated revenue
  • DMCA notice drafted at the correct format — you send it, or we send it on your behalf
  • Platform follow-up if the first request is ignored
  • Optional: we contact the seller to propose a paid licensing deal

Website Clone

A competitor copied your website, content or visual identity

Someone cloned your site — same design, same texts, same photos — and is selling the same services. Your work, their revenue. Your reputation at risk if they deliver badly. We audit, document, and get it pulled.

  • Side-by-side audit: copied texts, stolen images, duplicated layout structure
  • Reverse image search on every photo + HTML source code comparison
  • DMCA sent to the hosting provider — legal obligation to remove within 48h
  • Google deindexing request — the cloned site disappears from search results
  • Cease & desist template if the case requires legal follow-up

File DNA — Certification

Give your file a unique DNA. Registered. Timestamped. Yours — forever.

Think of it like PSA grading for trading cards — except for your 3D models. We generate a unique digital fingerprint of your file (like a DNA code, impossible to fake or copy) and register it in our certified database with the exact date and time. From that moment, if anyone sells, shares or claims your work — we can prove in seconds that you created it first. No lawyer. No dispute. Just proof.

  • Your file gets a unique ID code — like a serial number tattooed into the data
  • We register it with an official timestamp: date, time, your name — sealed in our database
  • You receive a Certificate PDF — valid for DMCA takedowns, legal disputes, or platform reports
  • Photo or render of your model? We run a reverse image search to find every visual copy online.
  • If someone steals the exact file → DNA check → match found → case closed.

Before certifying: we investigate first. Every certification request triggers an internal check — we search the web, platforms, and our known channels to verify the work is genuinely yours. This is what makes our certificate worth something. It also protects you: we often discover that your file is already being sold somewhere before you even knew it. In that case, your certification comes paired with an immediate investigation.

// How it works
00 We verify your authorship — a quick prior-art check to confirm the file is genuinely yours
01 You send us your file (STL, GLB, 3MF, image, design — anything)
02 We generate its DNA fingerprint and lock it in our registry with your name + timestamp
03 You get your Certificate PDF. Your work is protected from that moment on.

// Coming next
We are working to embed this fingerprint directly inside your 3D file — so every printer and every platform can read who made it. We are reaching out to Tripo, Meshy, Bambu Lab and MakerWorld to build an open standard. Obsidian Trace will be the first to propose it.

// Each case is handled personally. We investigate, document, and advise — you decide what action to take.

// Initiative

The 3D creator economy deserves its own rights infrastructure.

3D printing and AI generation are creating millions of original works every day — but the tools to protect them don't exist yet. No standard for authorship. No tracability layer. No way for a printer, a marketplace, or a buyer to know if a file is authorized.

We are building that layer. And we intend to bring the platforms to the table.

"Every 3D file should carry its author's identity — the way a painting carries a signature. We are building the infrastructure to make that possible."

// Process

Three steps. That's it.

No complex onboarding. You describe your case, we get to work. You receive a complete evidence file and ready-to-send notices.

01
You describe the case

Send us the link to your original work and what you've noticed. A message on Discord or an email — 5 lines is enough. No forms, no intake questionnaire.

02
We investigate and document

We manually search every relevant platform. We screenshot, timestamp, and document every seller or clone we find. You receive a complete evidence file within 3–5 business days.

03
We handle the takedowns

We draft the DMCA notices in the correct format for each platform and file them. We follow up if needed. You can also choose to contact the infringer directly — we draft that too.

// Transparency

Honest about what we do

We'd rather be clear upfront than overpromise. Here's what you can realistically expect.

✓ What we do

  • Find every listing — public platforms, private groups, Discord servers, Telegram channels
  • Build a legally usable evidence file with timestamped proof
  • Draft and submit DMCA notices to platforms — most remove listings within 24–72h
  • Contact sellers directly to propose a licensing arrangement
  • Request Google deindexing of cloned sites
  • Advise on next steps if a platform refuses or the case escalates
  • Infiltrate private groups, encrypted channels & closed communities where sales happen off-radar

✗ What we don't do

  • Guarantee removal — platforms decide, but compliance rates are very high
  • Pursue sellers in countries with no IP enforcement agreements
  • Replace a lawyer for complex litigation or large-scale IP disputes
  • Handle cases where you don't own the original copyright

Tell us what happened.
We'll take it from there.

Describe your case in a message — Discord or email. We'll confirm within 24h whether we can help and what the investigation will cover.
