Counterfeit behaviour has evolved significantly in recent years with the rapid growth of online commerce. Counterfeit rings have shifted their focus from localised sales to a thriving online marketplace, using sophisticated digital technologies to produce fake goods and leveraging online commerce and social media platforms to market and sell counterfeit products. This can pose a significant threat to your brand and reputation.
As the counterfeit market has moved online, traditional detection methods are no longer effective, and it is critical for companies to take equally sophisticated and proactive measures to protect their brand and intellectual property.
Control Risks’ brand and counterfeit monitoring service helps clients harness the wealth of information available online to combat fraudulent goods, retain market share, and preserve the value of their brand and intellectual property.
We also offer follow-on services to support clients to manage the risks presented by counterfeit activity such as assisting legal actions (e.g., cease and desist orders), account removals and controlled purchases.
