We find counterfeit listings and the sellers behind them on the marketplaces you choose, and file the complaints you approve. Test buys and on-ground action are available when needed.
Trusted by publishers, media, education and D2C brands
From marketplace monitoring to test buys and raids, here is how we find counterfeits and act against the sellers behind them.
Find counterfeit listings of your products on online marketplaces
Marketplaces such as Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, IndiaMART and AliExpress host far too many sellers to check by hand.
On your plan's scan cycle, we monitor the marketplaces you choose and flag likely counterfeits using image matching, price checks and seller history.
Our analysts review each flag, and you confirm which listings are counterfeit, since you know your products best.
Link fake listings to the sellers and networks behind them
Counterfeits are often sold through networks of seller accounts, so removing single listings rarely ends the problem.
We link seller profiles through shared details such as business names, addresses, phone numbers, product images and shipping origins.
The resulting seller map shows the repeat offenders to prioritise in marketplace complaints and, if you choose, in legal action through independent counsel.
File marketplace complaints against counterfeit listings
Getting a counterfeit listing removed means filing a formal complaint with proof of your rights, and following it up with the marketplace.
We prepare and file these complaints for the listings you confirm. Where you are enrolled in a marketplace rights-owner programme, we file through it as your authorised agent.
Each marketplace decides on removal and sets its own timelines. Every complaint's status is in your dashboard.
Verify counterfeit products through controlled purchase and validation
Some listings can't be judged from photos alone, and a physical sample is needed.
We arrange test purchases from suspected sellers, document the order, payment and delivery, and pass the product to you or your nominated expert to confirm whether it is genuine.
A documented test buy supports marketplace complaints and any later legal proceedings.
Capture evidence of listings and sellers before it disappears
Sellers often edit or delete listings once they are reported, so the evidence has to be captured first.
Evidence is captured with timestamps, URLs and chain-of-custody records to support marketplace complaints and legal proceedings.
Captures cover listings, seller profiles, prices and product photos, together with test-buy records and packaging samples where they exist.
Coordinate on-ground raids and seizure actions through local enforcement
When counterfeits come from a warehouse, factory or shop, online complaints alone may not stop them.
We work with independent counsel and investigators to locate the source and gather evidence. Raids are carried out by the police on a complaint, or by a court-appointed local commissioner in a civil case.
We coordinate the investigation, the evidence and the logistics around the action. Fees are quoted per matter and billed separately, and outcomes rest with the authorities and courts.
You confirm every listing, and each marketplace decides on removal.
Your trademarks, product catalogue, prices and authorised sellers, a letter of authorisation, and any marketplace rights-owner programmes you are enrolled in.
On your plan's scan cycle, using image matching, price checks and seller history. First findings arrive within 7 working days.
You know your products best: nothing is reported until you confirm a listing is counterfeit or infringing. Test buys settle the unclear cases.
Through each marketplace's IP complaint process, or its rights-owner programme where you are enrolled, as your authorised agent.
Each marketplace decides on removal and sets its own timelines. Every complaint's status is in your dashboard, and repeat sellers are linked into networks.

We flag likely counterfeits from signals such as prices far below yours, copied or edited product photos, sellers outside your authorised list and the seller's history. An analyst reviews each flag, and you confirm which listings are counterfeit; where photos aren't enough, a test buy settles it.
Each marketplace decides on removal and sets its own timelines. Every complaint's status is in your dashboard, and complaints that stall are followed up.
A test buy is a purchase from a suspected seller to get a physical sample. We document the order, payment and delivery, and pass the product to you or your nominated expert to confirm whether it is genuine. The documented purchase supports marketplace complaints and any legal action.
No one can promise that, but it can be made harder. We link seller accounts into networks, so repeat offenders and their new listings are spotted and reported, and the worst cases can be escalated through independent counsel and the police.
