Marketplace Search
What it is
Marketplace Search continuously monitors popular online marketplaces (such as Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, and others) to detect unauthorized use of your brand - including counterfeit products, trademark abuses, and other infringements.
How it works
The service scans marketplace listings regularly for items that match your brand terms, product names, or identifiers. When flags appear, findings are reviewed and appropriate actions are initiated - such as takedown requests, dismissals, or further investigation.
Benefits
- Protects revenue by removing counterfeit or unauthorized listings
- Preserves brand perception and reputation
- Helps maintain consumer trust in your products
Example
An electronics brand used Marketplace Search to monitor listings across major marketplaces. It identified several counterfeit sellers and initiated takedown actions, protecting both revenue and customer experience.
Trademark Watch
What it is
Trademark Watch monitors newly published trademark applications worldwide so you can spot potentially conflicting marks early.
How it works
The service scans trademark databases across jurisdictions to find applications that may be confusingly similar to your registered marks. When an issue appears, you receive an alert so you can take legal steps, such as filing oppositions.
Benefits
- Protects trademark rights in key markets
- Helps avoid costly legal disputes
- Preserves your brand’s distinct identity
Example
A beverage company entering new markets received alerts about local applications that closely resembled its trademarks. Early notice allowed timely opposition filing, preventing brand dilution.
Website Module
What it is
The Website Module scans the open web to identify unauthorized sites and web shops that mention your brand, misuse your images, or sell counterfeit or pirated products.
How it works
The service crawls standalone domains, landing pages, and web shops using your brand terms, product names, or identifiers. It flags suspicious sites for review and possible enforcement.
Benefits
- Detects fake webshops and standalone sites not found by marketplace monitoring
- Helps protect customers from buying counterfeit or unsafe products
- Gives visibility into broader web-based brand abuse
Example
A fashion brand discovered a network of independent webshops selling knockoff products using its name. The Website Module flagged these sites, enabling the brand to file enforcement actions and reduce consumer risk.
Domain Name Watch
What it is
Domain Name Watch monitors domain registrations for names similar to your brand or trademarks - including typos, lookalikes, and potential cybersquatting.
How it works
The service continuously scans domain registration activity across TLDs (top-level domains). When new registrations resemble your brand or trademarks, you get alerts so you can act before misuse escalates.
Benefits
- Prevents cybersquatting and domain abuse
- Protects brand identity in URLs and online presence
- Gives early warning of new threats
Example
A software company received notifications about newly registered domains containing permutations of its trademark. This allowed legal or defensive registration and prevented fraudulent use.
