ENFORCING YOUR IP ON INDEPENDENT WEBSITES
SnapDragon detect and enforce on websites that spoof your brand and defraud your customers
Is your brand being faked online? From replica websites posing as your brand to dodgy third-party suppliers, infringing websites can seriously harm your reputation – while diverting traffic from your official site. Snapdragon detects and takes down illicit websites for you, so you can focus on the task of growing your business. Find out how we do it.


WHAT DO THESE WEBSITES LOOK LIKE?
Depending on the product and intent, fake websites can assume a few different forms. Here are the most common types we regularly identify:

Replica sites
Scammers will create a convincing copy of your website, stealing your brand name, trademarks and copyright to pose as your brand.

Phishing sites
Some fake sites will sell counterfeit goods, but many are simply looking to extract data and steal from unsuspecting consumers, often often offering no real inventory.

Multi-brand
Offering illicit goods, multi-brand websites will infringe multiple brands including your own – posing as independent online shops.
HOW CAN THEY HARM YOUR BRAND?
