NY-CORSEARCH
31.1.2020 13:02:09 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Corsearch, a trademark and brand protection solutions leader, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Pointer Brand Protection, a prominent provider of anti-counterfeiting and brand protection services. The acquisition further extends Corsearch’s fast-growing brand protection offering and provides a comprehensive new service for brand owners and legal professionals. For the first time, a consolidated suite of technologically advanced solutions will support the research, clearance, monitoring, investigative, and enforcement needs of the brand lifecycle.
From counterfeiting and piracy to gray trade and brand impersonation, estimates suggest that a staggering one in four online purchases involve brand infringement. With global eCommerce expected to reach 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars by 2021, the need for online brand protection to fight these threats has never been more urgent. It is an issue that is growing in tandem with total global trade, with some reports projecting that by 2022 counterfeiting and piracy could result in the loss of 4.2 trillion U.S. dollars and the endangerment of 5.4 million legitimate jobs.
A global problem needs global solutions, and the addition of Pointer Brand Protection into the Corsearch family aligns the technological capabilities and extensive networks of the entire group into a brand establishment and protection provider with unmatched coverage.
For many businesses, the digital environment has become so complex that establishing and protecting brands is too fragmented and time consuming to be manageable. To combat this effectively, brand owners and legal professionals require technological leadership and innovative solutions to implement a strong, proactive brand protection program. The Corsearch Brand Protection platform will provide an entirely new service offering which combines the very best teams, expertise, and technologies from both Pointer and from previous Corsearch acquisition, Yellow Brand Protection. In addition to Corsearch’s existing services, the new platform will provide brands with a full-service solution combining everything from trademark research and clearing to machine learning, automated marketplace enforcement, and end-to-end investigations. To fight infringements at their source, the new team will also include the largest China-based online brand protection department in the industry.
“Since 2008, Pointer has worked with hundreds of globally-renowned brands to protect them from infringement and abuse,” said Pointer CEO, Robert Stolk. “The industry is becoming more challenging every day and brands require technologies and services that can outpace that. Joining forces with Corsearch means securing the ability to innovate in a way that anticipates the needs of customers while also benefiting from Corsearch’s trusted industry presence.”
Corsearch’s CEO, Tobias Hartmann, commented, “We are thrilled to bring the brightest minds in online brand protection together and define the future of this industry. With this strategic acquisition Corsearch becomes the only provider to support the needs of IP and brand professionals throughout the trademark lifecycle.”
