Investigations & Evidence

    Investigations & Evidence

    Taking action against serious infringers requires more than detections, it requires proof. Hive builds the evidence needed to pursue bad actors through legal channels, platform escalations, and enforcement proceedings worldwide.

    Build the case. Stop the abuser.

    Identifying bad actors isn't enough - you need proof that holds up. Hive builds the evidence trail required for legal action, platform escalations, and enforcement that actually sticks.

    The Process

    Hive Brand Protection combines technology and experts to investigate, document, and build cases against infringers in three simple steps:

    1

    Detect

    Identify serious threats across global marketplaces and digital channels. We surface the infringers, networks, and patterns that warrant deeper investigation, fast and at scale.

    • Cross-platform detection coverage
    • Text, image and link data
    • High precision threat identification
    2

    Investigate

    Go deeper than surface-level detections. We trace seller networks, map supply chains, and build a complete picture of how infringers operate, giving your team and legal partners the intelligence needed to act with confidence.

    • Seller and network mapping
    • Supply chain tracing
    • Test purchases and physical evidence collection
    3

    Evidence & Data

    Turn investigations into actionable cases. We document findings, capture evidence, and build structured case files that hold up in legal proceedings, platform escalations, and enforcement actions.

    • Evidence capture & case overview
    • Structured case documentation
    • Support for legal proceedings and disputes

    At Hive, service is a central part of brand protection. Every client works with a dedicated contact person who understands the brand and takes responsibility for driving investigations forward. Behind that contact is our global team of analysts and investigation specialists, experienced in building evidence that leads to real outcomes.

    Because stopping serious infringers requires more than detection.
    It requires people who take ownership of the outcome.

    • Experience that delivers results

    Platform Relations

    Strong cases require more than standard documentation.

    While rights holders have access to official reporting channels, complex or large-scale content requires more than manual take-down solutions. Hive works locally with major marketplaces and digital platforms worldwide, understanding their processes, escalation paths, and expectations.

    Hive understands that some of the most significant enforcement challenges originate in China. That's why Hive maintains a physical presence and dedicated enforcement operations across Asian platforms - connecting brand owners with on-the-ground expertise, actionable intelligence, and coordinated platform enforcement. Effective brand protection isn't just about submitting reports. It's about submitting the right ones, to the right platforms, at the right time.
