Proactive Lead Generation
In some cases, our clients want to investigate and eliminate the source of counterfeited products instead of just decrease the visibility of illicit product offers by performing online takedowns.
Focusing on what will have the highest economic and legal impact, we proactively identify and select high risk and high-volume targets online and translate web-based intelligence into physical investigations.
We combine various available data and information sources for sustainable results of our holistic approach, i.e.:
Offline to Online Approach
We turn actionable intelligence gathered via customs seizures, raids, customer complaints or alike, into company network investigations across the digital landscape aiming at the removal of online distribution channels as well.
Online to Offline Approach
Vice versa, once the whole digital footprint of an infringer and his illicit activity is identified, we may initiate further offline measures, such as test purchases, on-side verifications of production, storage locations, distribution networks and their modus operandi as a basis for potential raids or further collaboration with local authorities and legal teams.
Market surveys
We conduct market surveys of major commercial areas in relevant countries to identify establishments engaged in the illicit trade of counterfeited products. Upon the completion of the market survey, appropriate anti-counterfeiting actions can be evaluated.
