Making sure your business doesn’t fall prey to counterfeits and copycats can be a hugely time consuming and stressful business – but it doesn’t have to be.
Our Managed online brand protection service means you can relax and concentrate on what you do best – building your business. While we get on with protecting your brand and IP.
We are passionate about online brand protection because we absolutely understand the horrors of fakes.
Our founder, Rachel Jones, created a baby product which was counterfeited some years ago. Angered by the audacity of the counterfeiters, and unable to afford full cost IP protection services, Rachel recruited multilingual specialists, locally, to help identify and remove repeat infringers online. Using the product’s extensive trademark and design right portfolio, the team removed tens of thousands of infringing items from the online marketplaces, keeping customers and the business safe.
And SnapDragon was born to provide online brand protection and IP protection services to SMEs.
Here are just some of the benefits our customers tell us they get from working with us
Securing your IP is the first stage in protecting your brand – but enforcement is also a key part of your strategy.
Our solution enables your trademarks, design rights and patents to deliver their worth. Providing full online brand protection.
We work quickly as a team to learn all we can about your brand, your intellectual property and your priorities.
We then work as highly effective extension of your team. Plus we’re 100% as committed as you – to protecting your business and your customers.
Our innovative, AI driven brand protection technology is at the heart of the solution we provide.
Including powerful automated searches around the clock – supplemented by manual searches by the team when needed – across all priority marketplaces and social media sites.
We understand entirely the issues and challenges you have as you move your manufacturing offshore – because we did it and experienced the pain of counterfeits.
ALL of that experience – including our supply chain expertise – is available to you as an online brand protection service. From secret ingredients to secure labelling.
Our highly motivated team works closely with you to align your priorities and takedown activities.
We also work closely with your legal counsel, internal or external, to ensure clear lines of communication and minimal budgetary spend.
Some of the world’s fastest growing brands have already benefited from our approach to online brand protection, and although we guarantee each and every one absolute confidentiality – some have chosen to be vocal about the impact our services have had on their businesses.
SnapDragon is a great partner for us. They have successfully, and efficiently, taken down counterfeit sites, enforcing the IP rights in which we have heavily invested at a fraction of the cost of a legal partner.

(Co-Founder), Cheeky Chompers
The originality and success of Cheeky Chompers award winning bibs led to an abundance of copycat products on many platforms. The firm’s registered trade marks and registered design rights have enabled SnapDragon to report for removal infringing links and products on the world’s online marketplaces, keeping the brand unsullied and customers safe.
SnapDragon is first class. It was started by someone who made products, got ripped off and they tried to fight back…they now focus entirely on fighting fakes online for other people and have an excellent operation.
Tom De Pelet
(Founder), Hornit
The world’s smallest bike rack Clug had unfortunately fallen prey to fakes. Their copyrighted videos and images were also often used to promote spurious copies. With tenacity and persistence, SnapDragon used Hornit’s registered design rights, patent and copyright to remove infringing content on major online marketplaces, as well as independent websites.
SnapDragon’s solution is focused, cost-effective and responsive. The continual monitoring process regularly identifies infringing items and by using our registered IP they are able to take action against the links, helping prevent infringing products being sold.

Morphcostumes’ brand ‘Morphsuits’ was at risk of becoming a generic trademark. SnapDragon’s unrelenting effort to defend the brand through the use of registered trademarks has helped the Morphsuit maintain its market leading position within the fancy dress industry.
