Exposing Counterfeiters
Strategize
We begin by providing the client with a report on the current state of countefeiting around their brand. We search the most notorious knockoff-selling sites for their products and brand infringements. We also search for the pseudonyms that factories and retailers are using to stay under the radar or IPR patrollers. Using this information we create a comprehensive plan that matches the clients goals and budget.
Monitor
We monitor e-commerce sites for counterfeit goods and trademark infrigements. When we find something suspicious, the product infomormation is compiled into our database. The client has access to all this information in real-time so they can share information with their internal team. We send special alerts to the client when we find potential leaks in the supply chain (components for sale ect).
Takedown
We take our the information we've gathered on the infringments and present it to the websites as proof of IPR violation. This process takes usually 3-5 days to complete. When questions arise, we followup on listings and work with the platforms until issues are resolved. This is where our experience and fluency in Mandarin makes the difference. We know how to deal with Chinese manufacturers, e-commerce sites and a deep knowledge of local business practices. Takedowns are recorded in real-time and monthly report on activity is provided to the client.
