MarkMonitor Brand Protection™

Protect the brand equity and customer
loyalty you’ve built.

MarkMonitor Brand Protection preserves marketing investments, customer trust, and revenues by assisting in the elimination of confusing and potentially fraudulent use of your brand online. Leveraging the industry’s widest access to online data sources and using patented detection technology to continuously monitor more Internet channels than any other solution, it safeguards brand equity, marketing investments, revenue and reputation from a wide range of brand abuse: traffic diversion schemes, unauthorized channels, counterfeit, pirated and gray market sales, false association, cybersquatting, brand defamation and other online threats.

Brand owners can rapidly detect abuses as they occur, then respond quickly and effectively with automated enforcement mechanisms including auction/exchange de-listings, payment processing de-activation, cease & desist letters and site takedown advisories to ISPs. By clearly demonstrating to scammers an active commitment to proactive brand defense, brand owners can also measurably reduce future brand attacks.

It costs millions to build global brands—yet they’re highly vulnerable to online attacks which can severely undermine marketing investments while putting brand reputation, customer trust, and revenues at risk.

These attacks make unauthorized use of trademarks in pay-per-click ads, misleading websites, spam email and URLs, in order to divert traffic to competing or even illicit sites. Pay-per-click abuse, paid search abuse and SEO manipulation (or Black Hat SEO) all enable likely fraudsters to claim affiliation where none exists … link legitimate brands with undesirable content … or steer consumers to sales of unauthorized, pirated and often counterfeit goods.

The result? Marketing ROI goes negative. Billions in revenues are forfeited. Warranty, service, and other costs rise for legitimate brand owners. And, left unchecked, just a few online brand attacks can permanently tarnish a brand’s integrity.

Now companies can minimize these significant, negative impacts—with MarkMonitor Brand Protection. This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution monitors the widest range of Internet properties and uses sophisticated detection algorithms—including photo detection, graphics recognition and scoring technology—to scan millions of web pages, blogs, message boards, plus eCommerce and auction sites, quickly identifying potential brand abuse.
