Number 2

Monitor

It starts with knowing what's out there. Online marketplaces, social media, apps, websites, and the dark web are conduits for the sale of counterfeit and infringing products. Gain intelligence on which unauthorized products are hitting the market and where they're being sold. Then take action.

Number 3

Investigate

When you find unauthorized product listings, it's time to ID the seller and gather evidence. Test purchases serve to collect information on the seller identity and secure physical and/or digital proof of the infringement for litigation.

Number 4

Analyze

It takes a trained professional to know what to look for. Counterfeits are made to look like the real deal and can fool just about anybody. Collected evidence is studied and scrutinized to positively confirm whether a product is genuine, counterfeit, or otherwise infringing.

Number 5

Enforce / Disrupt

It's time to enforce your intellectual property rights. Take down infringing listings to disrupt the online marketplace, making it harder for illegitimate sellers to make a sale. Send cease-and-desist letters to positively-identified sellers and prepare for litigation against recidivist sellers using substantiated findings and chain-of-custody documentation.

Protecting your brand = Protecting your customers

Brand abusers use your good name to bait your customers with counterfeit goods at low costs, use tech and phishing scams to leech money, and post malicious content to disrupt the marketplace.

This doesn't just put your brand at risk. The health and safety of your customers are also put at risk. Your customers expect you to protect them from counterfeits. Ensuring authentic brand experiences increases ROI, not just in revenue, but in the trust your customers place in your brand.

CONSUMER GOODS

Consumers are less likely to buy products from a brand if it's associated with counterfeit goods. Everything from toys to cosmetics to food can be compromised - the counterfeiters know no bounds and neither do we.

LUXURY & APPAREL

One way to stop fakes before they enter the marketplace is to assist U.S. Customs to seize counterfeit merchandise at the port of entry. We work with CBP to ID and halt the import of infringing goods.
