Attribution, copyright and trademarks

All variations of the names ‘DSent’ and ‘Dark Sentinel’, associated logos, designs and our intellectual property are protected by relevant trademarks and copyright. As an ethical company, we uphold the highest standards and this includes fiercely protecting our name and property. A breach of our copyright or trademarks will result in legal action, and we vigorously pursue offenders to prosecution. We instruct our lawyers to not issue ‘cease and resist’ warnings but immediately request that offending sites are removed from hosting companies and begin litigation procedures against offenders. We believe that courts are the best places for resolution of such matters. We are willing to prosecute in any country on earth. We always seek to recover all our costs, including legal fees, from offenders. 

Our lawyers are keen, our forensic IT technicians skilled and our tolerance of theft is zero.
