A brand's most powerful asset is its Intellectual Property and it is the duty of the owner to protect it. Selling products online opens up a floodgate for rogue sellers to damage your reputation, steal your sales, erode your pricing and margins, and hinder your ability to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Maybe we can answer it here

Can anything be done about unauthorized sellers?

Yes. eEnforce deals exclusively in removing sellers not authorized to list or sell your legitimate products(s) on the 3p marketplaces. Brands with a properly structured US trademark under the Lanham Act have the right to defend their trademark and restrict the illegal use of that trademark in the advertisement or sale of their product(s)

Why won’t Amazon help?

Amazon’s policy classifies these as distribution-related disputes between two companies—it would therefore be inappropriate for Amazon to get involved. Amazon also makes more than half their revenues from third-party sellers, so it does not make financial sense for them to restrict these sellers.

How are these unauthorized sellers getting our products?

Most brands have perpetual inventory leakage from their supply chains. It can come from distributors, large retail presences, retail arbitrage, freight theft, liquidation, or large-scale returns from major retailers. eEnforce helps brands isolate what products are at highest risk and then provides identifications and locations of unauthorized sellers of these products.
