Case study

Tracing a counterfeit seller network

A brand kept finding counterfeit versions of its products on marketplaces. Each takedown led to a new storefront. Counsel needed to show the storefronts were connected.

Example engagement. The client is fictional and details are illustrative, to show how this work typically goes.

The situation

The brand had been filing marketplace takedowns one listing at a time. New storefronts kept appearing with the same photos and prices. Outside counsel wanted to take broader action but needed evidence that the stores were run by the same people.

What we did

Counsel briefed us on what they needed to show. We captured each storefront and listing with time stamps and logged sources, then looked for connections between them: shared images, contact details, domains, shipping origins and payment pages.

What we found

19 storefronts across three marketplaces shared a small set of contact emails, one shipping return address and a common payment page. Several used product photos with the same hidden file details. Together they pointed to one operator.

What changed

Counsel used our report and exhibits to file a single, broader complaint instead of chasing listings one at a time. The marketplaces removed all 19 storefronts together.
