You can definitely use your IP to take down scams.

If someone is using your name or your company's name to scam people, it is in your interest to save your name and provide people assurance that they can do business with your name.

Key point being, that you have IP to use in the first place. But the parents' contention is that ChainPatrol and/or their clients don't have such IP, and are merely weaponizing the copyright/trademark takedown process to take down scams, which isn't the same thing.

My understanding is that arbitrum has an IP, but this video was not using their IP, that it was a false positive in terms of identifying the IP, in addition to a false positive of malicious intent.

What you are saying is that these claims never relate to IP and it was only a false positive of malicious intent?

I'm not sure how you got that impression. If you read my previous comment it's pretty clear I only objected on the basis they don't have relevant IP, not on the principle of being able to use IP to issue take down scams.

That's a use of a trademark claim, not a copyright claim. And a good example of why trademark protection is valuable.

[TZubiri]

It's true that trademarks are the best tool for that kind of protection, and that it is distinct from copyright. Note that I used the term IP though, which is a yet third distinct term.

Scammers often use more than just your name. They often take content from your site too to try to make theirs look like yours.

The claim was they have no IP.
