ANTI-COUNTERFEITING
A brand owner’s success increasingly depends on his/her ability to protect the brand’s intellectual property (IP) assets and reputation. We have successfully removed thousands of infringing listings, shut down on-line stores selling counterfeit products and secured payment for infringement.
Our attorneys are results-driven professionals who know the ins and outs of protecting IP against fraudsters. We have used this proven method to permanently shut down the online infringement problems experienced by our clients and recover millions of dollars from infringers.
Developed a product?
Are you experiencing the signs of on-line counterfeiting? Did you start selling a product online with some success and then almost overnight see other products (that look like your product) pop-up on platforms like Amazon and Alibaba? Are these sellers using your likeness, your images or your branding? Have you seen your sales decline, or is there customer confusion on what is authentic? Have you received complaints about a product that wasn’t yours?
That’s counterfeiting and we can help stop it.
If online hijackers are selling counterfeits of your product, we can immediately institute action on your behalf. We develop customized anti-counterfeiting strategies and protect you and your brand from intellectual property violations.

Why E-Commerce Platforms Have Become an Ideal Storefront for Counterfeit Products And Intellectual Property Theft?
E-Commerce Platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba and eBay, for example, provide a space for counterfeiters to connect with potential customers at a low cost. Most counterfeiters falsely represent themselves by:
- Using the brand or product name.
- Taking photos, videos and/or messaging from the seller’s website.
- Implementing a bait & switch technique – marketing themselves as an authentic product at a reduced price and then shipping counterfeit products that are poorly manufactured and unsafe.
- The FBI estimates that U.S. businesses lose between $200 billion and $250 billion each year to counterfeiting.
