Session 1: Brand protection on e-commerce platforms

Monday, 21 June, 9.30am (BST)
Speaker: Kristina Koehler-Coluccia

As global e-commerce sales continue to rise, more brands are placing their goods online and attracting new customers. During the pandemic, live streaming advertisements have exploded in China, allowing for millions of people to be exposed to your brand, with minimal investment. With more than 900 million users (and growing) on various Chinese e-commerce platforms, the potential for brands is vast.

However, the potential is equally as enticing to counterfeiters. To ensure the safety of your brand on Chinese e-commerce platforms, there are a few important measures to adopt as part of your IP protection strategy.
