New Global Solution for E-Commerce, Brands and Consumer Protection Online

The rapid growth of e-commerce and digital media consumption has undoubtedly offered new global market opportunities for businesses, but also lead to the increasingly common threats of counterfeiting, grey trade, brand abuses, and online piracy. According to Corsearch, more than 12.5 billion online references to brands and content are captured annually. The solutions to monitor the intellectual property of brands include trademark screening, trademark searching, trademark watching, domain services, brand and content protection. All-encompassing strategies ensure that brands can act against the broadest range of pirate networks, search engines and social media. They are even more efficient if leveraged industry wide. Any interested sports brand can contact the WFSGI for more information.

A clean marketplace is a safe marketplace

Since its creation in 1978, the WFSGI has been consistently committed to supporting the sporting goods companies with protection of their intellectual property rights from infringers. Starting with classic IPR infringement and now changing more and more towards digital IPR infringement. In our new collaboration with Corsearch we enter a new level of IP protection in terms of cleaning the online market from counterfeiting and brand abuses. 

Robbert De Kock, President and CEO of the WFSGI says, “We are delighted to support our members and the industry at large by joining forces with Corsearch, one of the global leaders in online IP infringement detection and removal. As the digital era evolves, online threats and abuses are also on the rise, and we want to support the sporting goods industry with the best tools. By joining forces through the WFSGI, we can create synergies. With more brands involved, suspects can be put completely out of business and entire networks and clusters can be eliminated.”
