Online brand abuse can come in a range of forms including:

• Web sites pretending to be either your company or an authorized representative
• Counterfeit goods for sale on auction and trade board sites
• Paid search results using your brand but offering a competitors product instead
We offer specialist investigation services to try to identify who is behind these sites. As a minimum we will attempt to provide information to aid the removal of the site or listing.
