Case Study: Dennis Kunkel Microscopy, Inc. achieves robust copyright protection and web tracking for images with Digimarc for Images

Digimarc for Images Helps Science Stock Photographer Protect Images and Convey Ownership

Dennis Kunkel Microscopy, run by award-winning photomicrographer Dennis Kunkel, sells science stock images online but faced growing problems with unauthorized use. Visible watermarks obscured critical image detail and discouraged clients, leaving Kunkel needing a non‑intrusive way to assert ownership and track images as they spread across the web.

Kunkel adopted Digimarc for Images, which embeds an imperceptible digital watermark carrying copyright, contact info, and a unique ID that survives editing and reformatting, plus a Search Service to locate uses online. The solution preserved image quality, helped Kunkel find and remove unauthorized copies (including a recent successful takedown), and delivered more effective tracking and peace of mind.
