How Marketplace Watch works
With the help of our Brand Protection Specialists, monitoring is set up and adapted to your specific needs. Thanks to advanced underlying technology, it is possible to search for predefined texts, your logo or copyright-based images that are applied to your products. Whenever identical or similar images and texts are detected online, we receive an alert. Our Brand Protection Specialists goes through all alerts and consult with you every time we recommend that action should be taken.
Monitoring
Our Brand Protection Specialists review your business and provide advice and tips on how to achieve the strongest possible trade mark protection. Together you identify the key terms and/or images to be monitored on marketplaces.
