The third party product is a complete copy of mine.

[A Trade Code]

Good afternoon, dear community members.

I'd like to share a situation and perhaps seek your advice. Over two weeks ago, we discovered a complete copy of our extension in the Chrome Web Store. The copy is published under the name BlackInput (ID: iomflaclalmibceappfegipkgddlindb).

We've collected irrefutable evidence (including matching source code, original HTML tags, and evidence of unauthorized collection of user data) and submitted a detailed complaint to the Chrome Web Store support team.

Unfortunately, despite clear policy violations (intellectual property, duplicate content, privacy), the platform has yet to take any visible action, and the copy remains available in the store.

I'm asking for your advice: please advise what other effective protections are available in this situation? Are there any specific authorities where we can file an official complaint about the platform's inaction, or other mechanisms to ensure our rights are protected and the infringing product is removed?

I would be very grateful for any useful information and experiences.

Hello

Have you filed a complaint about the item through One Stop Support (https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/one_stop_support)? That would be a great first step.

I'd say to report it to One Stop support, i truly hope that it isn't one of mine, as it was not intentional and definitely wouldn't want to be breaking any kind of infringement, copyright, rules, laws and or regulations, I'm a IT Student still practicing, learning, discovering, and exploring, haven't graduated yet, although all of my devices I have personally implemented, distributed, contributed, however I don't think or believe that I have publicly published any of what I have implemented from any of my devices, I still completely understand your concern and hope that you find the right people or department to assist you with inquiry and or query.
