Revenue Recovery · MarqLaw

Takedowns stop a listing.
Recovery stops the seller.

MarqLaw traces the biggest counterfeit networks to the companies and factories behind them. Then it pursues damages, settlements and seizures through local authorities and courts, so the sellers who cost you most pay some of it back.

Follow the money
back to the operator.

Seller Intel links storefronts by business registration, contact details, images, and warehouse address. Hundreds of listings become a handful of companies you can actually sue.

Build the case

Evidence built
for court.

Test purchases, notarized captures, and chain-of-custody records, collected from day one. A takedown case can become a lawsuit without starting over.

Offline enforcement

From a storefront
to a seized warehouse.

Once a network is worth pursuing: storefronts linked to one operator, a test purchase, an investigation that finds the factory, a raid with local authorities. Then recovery.

How it works

From repeat seller
to recovered revenue.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Seller Intel ranks networks by volume, relisting speed and traceability.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    Test purchases and field investigators locate the company, factory or warehouse.

  3. 03

    Act

    Raids with authorities, customs actions, civil suits, or US Schedule A filings.

  4. 04

    Recover

    Settlements, damages, and seized inventory, with costs agreed up front.

Investigations

Field investigators in China and across Asia trace sellers to physical locations.

Raids and seizures

Coordinated with local administrative and criminal authorities.

Litigation

Civil actions in China, Korea, and the US, including Schedule A suits.

Customs

Recordals and border actions that help stop shipments before they reach buyers.

If your firm, like many, views legal risk compliance as a cost-center rather than a revenue generator, ask the MarqVision folks about their revenue recovery initiatives.

Frequently asked questions

What is revenue recovery?
Turning infringement into money back: settlements, damages and seized inventory from the sellers and factories behind counterfeits, pursued through civil and criminal action where it makes commercial sense.
Which countries do you act in?
China, Korea, the United States and Southeast Asia, through MarqLaw’s practitioners and partner law firms on the ground. In the US that includes Schedule A actions against groups of online sellers.
How do you decide which cases to pursue?
We start from Seller Intel: which networks sell the most, relist the fastest and can be traced to an identifiable company or factory. You get a case recommendation with the expected cost and upside before anything is filed.
