Online detection links to offline enforcement, contributing to 37 cases involving more than 300 suspects and over $430 million in value in 2025, with the Brand Protection Platform expanding by more than half since 2021.
The report emphasizes a global partnership and trust built over a decade, highlighting authorities, brands, and users working together and integrating online detection with offline actions against counterfeiters.
