Anti-Counterfeit


Counterfeits damage the reputation of a brand, and can be harmful to consumers.

Battling counterfeit products and intellectual property crime present a clear challenge to brands across multiple sectors.


The trade in counterfeits continues to increase with fake products being made available online more than ever before.  Social media presents a new avenue for counterfeiters and brands must respond by adapting their strategies.


Brandsmiths represents a number of high-profile international brands in the luxury goods, sport, and technology sectors in combatting the proliferation of fake products.


Examples of our anti-counterfeiting experience:


- Developing and implementing comprehensive global anti-counterfeiting strategies
- Carrying out search, seizure and destruction of counterfeits
- Monitoring online counterfeit outlets, social media, and managing domain name disputes
- Filing take down notices with online platforms, such as Amazon, Facebook, and eBay
- Enforcing Intellectual Property rights against unlawful parallel imports and grey market goods
- Making Applications for Action (also known as a Customs Notice) with customs in the UK so that customs can seize counterfeits.
