We work with our clients to remove counterfeits from all major online platforms through an effective program that hits counterfeiters where it hurts – their pockets.

This means we can freeze the accounts of those infringing your rights and have them award you substantial damages – making the entire process self-financing. Counterfeiting and the theft of intellectual property assets pose a serious threat to businesses and brand owners. According to Forbes, in 2018 counterfeiting was the largest criminal enterprise in the world. Sales of counterfeit and pirated goods total $1.7 trillion per year and are expected to grow to $2.8 trillion and cost 5.4 million jobs in 2022. Counterfeit goods can also seriously endanger the public as they are not subjected to the same health and safety checks and testing as legally produced items. The damage can potentially be fatal. Having counterfeit items on sale can seriously jeopardise your brand reputation and any existing or potential licensing agreements. I began Edwin James IP having experienced first-hand at Polybank Designs just how damaging having counterfeit items on the market can be and how costly, distracting and depressing ineffective legal action can be.
