The dramatic growth of eCommerce and digital media consumption mean that companies and consumers now rely on the Internet more than ever. Alongside the opportunities presented by global markets, however, come the increasingly common threats of counterfeiting, gray trade, brand abuse, and online piracy. More than ever before, brand protection solutions that use advanced technologies to reduce brand risks and protect consumer welfare are critical.

From enterprise-level corporations to SMBs, IP owners need a comprehensive brand protection solution built on a global network of technology, data, and expertise. Corsearch is a trusted name for brands in need of innovative, expert support against the loss of revenue and reputational damage caused by IP abuse. Adding the Incopro team to its worldwide network of analysts, developers, and investigators ensures that Corsearch’s effectiveness against brand erosion in every market will be further strengthened.

Corsearch CEO, Tobi Hartmann, said: “For years now, we have been impressed not just with Incopro’s future-facing technologies and global outlook, but with its commitment to the principle of restoring trust in digital commerce. In the past, Incopro has invited its brand customers to join ‘a bigger gang’ against counterfeiting and IP abuse — well, we are delighted that they have agreed to join the global team at Corsearch as we come together to support a cleaner Internet and a better society.”
