Preparing Legal Cases

Detecting IP infringements is an important cornerstone of online brand protection. You can take action against these infringements relatively quickly by requesting that they be removed from the respective platforms. 

Ensuring that the infringers behind the offers are prosecuted and thus avoiding repeat offences, however, requires greater effort, but is worthwhile for you in the end. This is why our brand protection experts support you by preparing legal cases against fraudsters.

Despite their many years of experience, even our brand protection experts can only determine with certainty whether a product is a counterfeit or an original product sold through grey market structures when they hold the product in their own hands. But since both of these cases violate your brand's IP-rights, we provide legally safe documentation of everything we buy for you.

This documentation contains legally safe screenshots of the listings, invoices, shipping labels, product pictures, seller names, information about the origin of products and much more. Surprisingly sellers of IP-infringing products are not as careful as you would expect them to be, so often a well-documented test purchase is already enough to gather all the information you need to open up a legal case. 

Have you discovered IP-infringing content for your brand on domains or marketplaces yourself? If you want to document these infringements in a legally compliant manner, a simple screenshot of the website or the corresponding listing is not enough. However, manually identifying and documenting all relevant information is time-consuming and error-prone.

With our screenseal tool, you can create screenshots with all legally relevant information in just one click. In addition to a fraud-proof timestamp, files created with the software contain information about the domain of the respective website, including a QR code that links to the original page if it still exists.
