Brand protection
The counterfeit listings, unauthorised resellers and hijacked ads a consumer in another country actually sees — captured with a record.
Searching from your own desk does not show you this
Counterfeits, grey-market resellers and hijacked ads are shown to consumers in that country. Not finding them from your own desk is not evidence they do not exist.
Many listings appear only to visitors from particular countries — language, currency and delivery settings decide what is served.
What can be captured
| Counterfeit listings | On marketplaces, auction sites and social platforms, per country |
| Unauthorised resale | Stock sold outside your authorised network, and at what price |
| MAP violations | Retailers selling below an agreed floor |
| Ad hijacking | Competitor ads appearing above you on your own brand terms |
| Impersonating sites | Domains containing the brand, and what they display |
| Misinformation in AI answers | Unauthorised channels being presented as official |
Finding it is not the same as being able to act
A takedown notice needs more than a sighting. It needs what was displayed, in which country, on which date.
Kansoku's Browser API opens the page from an address in that country and stores the rendered page and a screenshot as retrievable artifacts, with the retrieval time, the country of the address used, and a request identifier alongside.
The thing you need when someone says "we never displayed that" accumulates automatically at the moment of discovery.
What we do not do
We do not make test purchases. We do not create accounts, and we do not enter areas that require signing in. We record public surfaces exactly as they are published.
Anti-counterfeiting work often includes a test-buy step. That belongs to you or to an investigations firm. Kansoku covers the discovery and the record that precedes it.
Who uses it
- Brand owners monitoring exposure across markets continuously
- Authorised distributors tracking parallel imports into their territory
- Legal and IP teams needing records shaped for notices and litigation
- Investigations firms and law firms running clients in separate workspaces
