The New Playbook for Smarter Brand Protection

Counterfeiting and online brand abuse are no longer isolated challenges — they are global, fast-moving, and increasingly sophisticated. From social media and marketplaces to offline distribution networks, brands today must navigate a complex and constantly evolving threat landscape.

This brand protection webinar brings together expert insights and real-world experience, featuring the iconic brand Vivienne Westwood, to explore how leading organizations are transforming brand protection into a strategic, ROI-driven function.

What is online brand protection and why is it important?

Online brand protection refers to the strategies and technologies used to detect, prevent, and enforce against misuse of intellectual property across digital channels. This includes counterfeit products, trademark infringement, impersonation, and unauthorized distribution.

As online ecosystems expand, the most common forms of online brand abuse — from fake listings on marketplaces to social media scams — are becoming more sophisticated. Without a structured approach, these threats can significantly impact revenue, brand reputation, and customer trust.

    Learn how to combine online enforcement with offline investigations and legal procedures for stronger impact.
  • How to prioritize your brand protection budget effectively
    Gain practical guidance on where to invest — from focusing on key markets to balancing online and offline actions — to maximize ROI.

What role does AI play in brand protection?

  • Automated detection of suspicious listings at scale
  • Connecting data across marketplaces, domains, and legal cases

  • Takedown performance and enforcement efficiency
  • Reduction in counterfeit visibility and activity
  • Damages recovery from infringers
