As recurring lockdowns have forced companies to move a large part of their business operations online, challenges of enforcement in the online environment have become even more relevant. This session will take a detailed look at these challenges from both a proactive and reactive perspective.

Speakers will address the spike in e-commerce sales in recent years and how the resulting surge in counterfeits and trademark infringement has forced businesses to adapt online trademark enforcement strategies. Additionally, we will discuss how companies have addressed these issues using in-house measures, as well as with the aid of third-party providers. Special attention will be given to the role of online marketplaces and how they should, could, and already do assist brand owners in the defense of their brands.
