If Knockoffs Are Stealing YOUR Products, YOUR Customers, And YOUR Future… 
Here’s Exactly How To Stop Them

Dear Brand Owner,

If you’re building a serious brand, you already know this problem isn’t just “annoying.”

It shows up in ways that hit much deeper:

  • You discover new knockoffs using your photos, packaging, and language — launched overnight, across platforms you don’t even sell on.

  • Customers complain about “your product” breaking or arriving damaged — except it wasn’t yours.

  • A retail partner, distributor, or investor flags counterfeit listings and starts questioning whether your brand is truly defensible.

This isn’t about inconvenience.

It’s about control, credibility, and long-term value.

And if you’ve tried to deal with it already, you’ve probably learned the hard way:

  • Platform takedowns are temporary

  • Copycats resurface under new seller accounts

  • Traditional law firms file paperwork — but leave you playing whack-a-mole

Because most approaches treat symptoms, not the system.

The result?

Brands quietly lose margin, leverage, and negotiating power — until pricing pressure forces compromises they never planned to make.

But that’s not inevitable.

The brands that win don’t chase individual listings.

They build brand protection infrastructure that makes counterfeiting unprofitable and unsustainable.

That’s exactly what we do at ESCA Legal.

We’ve developed a comprehensive brand protection and enforcement system designed for companies that are past the startup phase and serious about protecting what they’re building.

Not just removing fakes.But defending brand value, reputation, and future optionality.

Brands like Overnight Blowout, Bala Bangles, and Tushbaby didn’t come to us looking for quick wins. They came because counterfeit activity had become a strategic risk.

And in doing so, they were able to:

  • Eliminate hundreds of counterfeit listings

  • Secure enforceable IP protection globally

  • Recover illegally obtained funds where appropriate

  • Restore confidence with partners, retailers, and customers

“They successfully registered our trade dress, shut down hundreds of knockoffs, and secured major wins in federal court. We cleaned up the marketplace and can now grow with confidence.”

The first step isn’t enforcement.

It’s clarity.

Understanding:

  • Where your brand is exposed

  • What protection you actually have (and don’t)

  • Which strategies will work for your size and stage

If you’re running a real business and want a serious assessment, we invite you to start here.

“Exceptional trademark legal support”

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had the privilege of working with Esca on several trademark-related matters. As a growing company, the protection of our intellectual property and trademarks has always been a top priority. We’ve encountered various legal challenges over the years, from negotiating trademark contracts to handling complex litigation, and throughout it all, Esca has been nothing short of exceptional...

“Reliable, prompt, expert partnership”

It's been such a pleasure working with Francesca and her ESCA team! My favorite thing may be the most basic: I love that we can count on prompt, well-informed responses. We look forward to a long and prosperous working relationship, as Koppa Brand Protection continues to provide robust evidentiary data to substantiate intellectual property claims for mutual clients. 5+ stars!

"Smart, responsive, effective IP counsel and brand protection!"

We moved our IP portfolio to ESCA after years with a large, well-known (and expensive) firm — and we couldn’t be happier with the switch. They started with a full review of our IP, which includes over 10 years of patents and trademarks. The team delivered a detailed and insightful set of recommendations, including several important issues our previous firm had overlooked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can you actually stop the counterfeits, or will they just keep coming back?

Unlike standard takedown approaches that play whack-a-mole, our system targets the source. We don't just remove listings—we freeze seller accounts, seize funds, and create legal consequences that make your brand too expensive to copy. Every situation is unique though—book your free consultation to understand your specific options.

What makes ESCA different from other IP lawyers I've already tried?

Most firms file paperwork and disappear. We build comprehensive enforcement systems that actually work. We understand e-commerce, move at digital speed, and focus on results, not billable hours. We don't just advise—we execute. Schedule your free consultation to see our approach in action.

How do I know this won't turn into another expensive legal bill with nothing to show for it?

We measure success by protection achieved and revenue recovered, not hours billed. That's why we offer clear, fixed-fee structures and contingency options for recovery. Our clients see tangible results, like Overnight Blowout's recovery. Book your free consultation to discuss the right approach for your budget.

Are we already too late to protect what's being copied?

It's rarely too late, just different strategies. Even with existing counterfeits, we can still secure protection, enforce your rights, and recover damages. The key is stopping the bleeding now before it gets worse. Your free consultation will reveal exactly where you stand and what's still possible.

Do we need to have everything trademarked before we can stop the counterfeits?

No - we can begin enforcement while simultaneously strengthening your IP portfolio. We'll identify what protection you need most urgently versus what can be built over time. For your specific situation, book your free consultation for a tailored protection roadmap.

How quickly can you start removing knockoffs?

Many clients see their first major takedowns within 7-14 days of engagement. But it can be much longer, like months. That’s why it’s important to start as soon as possible. To understand the timeline for your specific situation, book your free consultation today.

What if the counterfeiters are based overseas?

We have global reach with particular expertise in China, Southeast Asia, and other manufacturing hubs where most counterfeits originate. Our international enforcement network allows us to take action regardless of where the fakes come from. Book your free consultation to discuss your global protection needs.

How much is this counterfeiting problem actually costing my business?

Most brands underestimate their losses by 60-70%. Beyond direct sales, you're losing customer trust, retail opportunities, and brand value. During your free consultation, we'll help quantify your true exposure so you can make informed protection decisions.
