Well, it's never been easier to spin up a copycat site. Here's https://t.co/Ynq9M4pzkg in two prompts and less than 5 minutes:

@Jesse1Xu love working with your team!

[Jesse Xu @Jesse1Xu]

If you’re a brand owner, you might have no idea your brand is being stolen right now. We feel like it’s your right to know.

That’s why we built https://t.co/0iooqCN7MK: type in a brand name, and it'll scan marketplaces and domains and tell you where you’re being ripped off.

We're making this free for everyone. Try it yourself, and get a scan in less than 2 minutes.

[Jesse Xu @Jesse1Xu]

The best part of all of this is getting to work with @PeimanRaf. Excited to keep it going!

[Podqi @podqi_ip]

madhappy built up their brand around the idea of fostering optimism and positive change in the community — one that’s now a wardrobe favorite of celebrities from Selena Gomez to Lebron.

We’re proud to be supporting their mission and making sure that genuinely doing good stays genuine.

Counterfeiters don’t compete for your customers. They intercept them. New article on why brand protection ROI beats acquisition ROI every time.👇

Been a pleasure working with @codyplof and the team. Some of the most on top of it people we've worked with.

Manual and pay-per-takedown solutions only go so far once you're a brand as big as Jones Road. Excited to keep fighting the good fight 🤧

[Podqi @podqi_ip]

Counterfeiters were outranking Jones Road Beauty on Google.
1,613 fakes removed. 318 fake Shopify stores down. Response time: 2 weeks → 3-4 days.

"You have to fight AI with AI." Counterfeit goods are a $500B+ problem, headed to $1.8T by 2030. Most enforcement is still manual. We're changing that. Read more from @LIFT_Labs at @NBCNews

TikTok's IP portal is the best tool for taking down fakes. Most brands just don't know how to use it.

We wrote the guide to actually make it work for you.
