A counterfeit product is an unauthorized imitation or reproduction of a product bearing the trademark of the original rights owner. Do you own a registered trademark? Apply for Brand Rights Protection. It's a tool which will allow you to find and report trademark violations, counterfeit products and copyright infringements across many of our platforms, in one place. Learn how to apply.

If you don't have access to Brand Rights Protection, you can use this form to report infringements of your trademark, such as a word, slogan, symbol or design (for example: a brand name or logo). Please note that any other types of claims will not be addressed through this form. Abuse of this form may result in the termination of your account.

Please provide links (URLs) leading directly to the specific content you are reporting.

You can report multiple links (URLs) in this report. To do this, enter links (URLs) in the box below. Enter one link per line.
