Monotype Audit Response

Five steps to take now.

• Check the deadline. Save the complete letter, attachments, and earlier correspondence. Seek advice promptly if a response is due soon.
• Gather your records. Find receipts, license terms, subscriptions, and emails with your designer or agency. Note who purchased the fonts.
• Document the use. List the fonts, websites, products, and relevant dates. A static graphic and embedded font software are different uses.
• Preserve the evidence. Keep records of the current setup and any changes. Removing a font does not, by itself, resolve a claim about past use.
• Review before committing. Check the facts and any reporting duties before submitting a usage declaration, signing terms, or paying.

A clear starting point. Defined next steps.

You work directly with Jessica Flowers. The engagement can start with a focused letter review or a broader review of licenses and usage.

1. Agree on the scope and fee.

We discuss the letter, the deadline, and the properties, teams, and records involved. Scope and fees are agreed before work begins. Flat-fee options are available for a defined letter review; broader audits are scoped to the work involved.

2. Review the letter and records.

We compare the claim with your license documents and available use information. For a broader audit, the agreed scope may include:

• Working with your teams to identify fonts across websites, applications, desktop use, and document workflows.
• Checking implementation and usage such as how fonts are hosted and which traffic or volume limits apply.
• Mapping use to license coverage to identify possible gaps and licensed fonts you no longer use.
• Assessing reporting requirements and what compliance would involve for your business.

You receive written findings and legal analysis, including an assessment of the claim and recommended next steps.

3. Decide how to respond.

Further help can include drafting a response, communicating with Monotype, negotiating a resolution, and reviewing proposed terms. This work is scoped separately from the initial review.

We can also help with license records, vendor responsibilities, and team approval procedures for future font use.
