For Legal and brand-protection teams
Enforcement rarely fails because the argument was wrong. It fails because by the time the evidence was assembled, the seller had sold through the inventory and opened another account.
For legal and brand-protection teams, Lupa produces the record enforcement rests on: pricing history, seller identity, timestamps and marketplace data, assembled automatically the moment a violation is detected — plus an honest view of which violations a takedown can actually resolve.
Every evidence pack contains historical pricing, seller identity, timestamps, marketplace information and the supporting data behind the violation. It is built when the violation happens, not reconstructed weeks later from screenshots that may no longer exist.
Brand Registry, Project Zero and Transparency address counterfeits and IP violations. A reseller selling authentic product they lawfully acquired is generally protected by the first-sale doctrine — so no takedown will remove them. That is the grey market, and because the goods are genuine, the volume is far larger and harder to police than counterfeiting.
If takedowns will not resolve the problem, the leverage sits elsewhere: distributor agreements, territorial terms, partner conversations. All of those require evidence of who is selling, at what volume, and where the stock most likely originated. That is what Lupa is built to establish.
Sales figures are estimates produced by a confidence-based methodology, and we say so. Directly observed sales are attributed as confirmed; where visibility is limited, conservative inference applies rather than an inflated number. An overstated figure that collapses under scrutiny is worse than no figure at all.
Every detection, evidence pack, seller communication and internal alert is logged. Enforcement, escalation and any eventual legal action all rest on that continuity.
Frequently asked
Generally no. Brand Registry addresses counterfeit and intellectual property violations. A reseller offering authentic product they lawfully acquired is typically protected by the first-sale doctrine, so it will not be removed on that basis. This is the single most common and most expensive misunderstanding in marketplace brand protection.
Each evidence pack includes historical pricing, seller identity, timestamps, marketplace information and supporting data, assembled automatically when the violation is detected and retained as an audit trail.
Lupa narrows down likely sources by combining seller activity, cross-border detection and volume signals to show which markets and sellers are involved and how material they are. Definitive source identification often still requires a test buy or a distributor investigation, but Lupa directs that effort where it will pay off.
They are presented as what they are: the best available estimate, produced by a confidence-based methodology. Directly observed sales are attributed as confirmed; where stock visibility is limited, conservative inference rules apply rather than overstating. That is deliberate — a figure that cannot survive scrutiny is a liability in an enforcement context.
