After looking for solutions to our time-consuming research issue with trademark infringements and after having tried various products with external handling and evaluation – which we found unsuitable for our needs – we finally discovered Brandshield. The comprehensive tool allows us to evaluate and act on the infringements fast ourselves, whilst we save a lot of time on the research as it sums all results up in an easy to understand and effective user interface. With Brandshield we are able to optimize our resources and reaction time and are able to easily identify and process far more trademark infringements than ever before.”
