Instagram trademark report rejected for a username

Updated

Rejections usually have a clear reason.

Common reasons: the mark is not registered, does not match, or the account uses the word in an unrelated way. Fix the issue or check another route.

Not registered

Wait.

Mismatch

Check spelling.

Unrelated use

Not a violation.

Usernames on Instagram are first-come, first-served and cannot be reserved. Nobody can reserve one for you, but Unbanz can work on a taken handle through the route that fits it.

Before you start

If you are in the EU

Under the EU Digital Services Act, Instagram has to explain moderation decisions and offer an internal complaint route. If Instagram removes or restricts an account in a username dispute, you can also use a certified out-of-court body such as Appeals Centre Europe. This does not create a right to someone else’s username.

How it works with Unbanz

  1. Send the handle you want and your Instagram profile link on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
  2. We tell you straight whether there is a legit route: an inactive account, a trademark or brand report, an impersonation report or Instagram’s own processes.
  3. If there is, you get it confirmed in the chat: a flat $1,200 per handle. You pay upfront by card through a secure checkout link we send you.
  4. We prepare and file everything through Instagram’s own tools and keep you posted. Instagram makes the final call, so we can’t promise timing or an outcome. If the claim fails, our refund policy gives you 100% back.

Staying safe

We never ask for passwords or codes. We don’t hack accounts, buy stolen handles or file false reports. If someone asks you to log in through their link or wants to sell you an account, walk away.

How much does a Instagram username claim cost?

It’s a flat $1,200 per handle, confirmed in the chat before anything starts. You pay upfront by card through a secure checkout link we send you. Nothing is charged for asking whether a handle is doable.

What if the claim fails?

Our refund policy gives a 100% refund if the case fails; for a username claim, that means the handle is not claimed onto your profile. See refund policy.

Do you need my password or login codes?

No. We never ask for passwords or codes. We work from the handle you want and your profile link.
