We monitor and scan online marketplaces for counterfeits and provide a report of the results. This can save legal budget compared to expensive litigation, while reducing loss of sales, profits and image.
Monitoring is not limited to “brand protection” alone, but includes the detection of trademark, design and patent infringements. Monitoring not only covers the detection of counterfeits, but also detects infringing products that are not 1:1 copies of the original product.
Sellers can be specifically monitored and evidence can be collected that can be used in a dispute. In addition, special measures can be taken against individual sellers in order to make them stop offering infringing products.
The use of trademarks as keywords for advertising is increasing. Inadmissible advertising and/or statements are recognized, taking into account current European case law. By taking action against the inadmissible advertising and/or statements, a weakening of your brand can be prevented.
Marketplaces are detected where infringing products are offered. This helps to detect when infringers switch to other marketplaces after an offer has been deleted.
In Germany, legal enforcement can be carried out by the co-founder’s law firm without loss of time or knowledge. In other jurisdictions, a network of law firms specializing in intellectual property can be used. Thus, the communication effort with your legal representative is reduced.
