Problem
Brands face significant challenges in protecting their intellectual property online, with counterfeit products and unauthorized resellers impacting revenue and brand reputation. Manual monitoring of e-commerce sites, social media, and other online channels is time-consuming and often ineffective in identifying and removing infringements quickly.
Solution
IP Shark offers an automated platform that proactively detects and facilitates the removal of counterfeit products, intellectual property infringements, and MAP violations across online marketplaces, websites, and social media. Using advanced web crawlers powered by machine learning, the platform scans the internet to identify stolen trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Once an infringement is detected, rapid enforcement technology automatically generates and enforces takedowns, mitigating illicit online sales. A full-service dashboard provides transparency into the process, with infringement progress tracking and status reports.
