Unauthorized Licensee Enforcement · Grey-Market Specialists
Licensed enforcement services identify and remove unlicensed resellers from 3P marketplaces, helping to ensure authenticity of your brand. Automations scale the identification of sellers and storefronts; our team verifies seller status and runs the full enforcement workflow for you. A fully managed service with a dedicated account manager: you don't lift a finger, and your only job is reviewing licensing certificates at your leisure.
The problem
Unlicensed sellers list counterfeit products, providing consumers with inferior products, damaging your brand's reputation.
Pirated goods show up where it's hardest for consumers to authenticate — online marketplaces.
Your real partners lose trust when fake products aren't removed quickly.
Our proactive approach
You can't enforce what you can't see. VantageBP verifies marketplace sellers against your authorized list, surfaces the unauthorized storefronts and products, and runs the enforcement workflow for you — verification requests, identification, and takedowns — backed by a database of 100,000+ identified resellers and real investigative work.
