Protecting Your Brand in Russia
Independent. Professional. Effective.
A trusted brand monitoring & enforcement initiative dedicated to protecting trademarks across Russian marketplaces, websites, and social media.
Your Brand Is Being Exploited in Russia
Since global companies left the Russian market, their trademarks have been hijacked. Fake sellers, copycat websites, and anonymous Telegram accounts are abusing your name — without your consent, without control, and without consequences. It’s happening now. At scale. Every day.
Counterfeits Flood the Market
Your products are being faked, misrepresented, and sold as “original” — without your knowledge.
Telegram Channels Use Your Name
Anonymous sellers run Telegram storefronts using your brand to sell fakes.
Clone Websites Deceive Customers
Scam sites look like your official store. Same visuals. Same checkout. Only it’s fraud.
Fake “Official” Sellers
Anyone can claim to be your distributor. They do — with no proof, no contract, just your logo and your reputation.
