Combine border measures, marketplace notices and enforcement against unlawful supply chains.
Look beyond one listing
Removing an online offer may not stop distribution. Document seller identities, shipping routes and upstream suppliers where possible. Test purchases and comparisons should preserve a reliable evidential chain.
Customs measures
An application for customs action requires clear product information, proof of rights and accessible contacts. Detention is not a final judicial finding of infringement. Notifications require action within the applicable deadlines.
Platforms and parallel imports
A platform notice should identify the right, the specific listing and why it infringes. Unjustified suspensions may require counter-notices, contractual arguments or court relief. Genuine goods and parallel imports need a separate exhaustion analysis; they are not automatically counterfeits. Provide rights records, product identifiers, sample offers and distribution information.
