About
What we do
Launched in early 2008, BrandVerity provides services that detect online brand and trademark abuse. The technology investments made by infringers have drastically outpaced the investments by brand owners. We intend to change that.
Our services are simple, straightforward and extremely good at what they do. PoachMark, our first service, is currently in Beta.
