Video Protection From Corsearch: No More Video Blind Spots

Video has officially become the new frontier for counterfeiters. 

With the hashtag #dupe surpassing 6.6 billion views on TikTok alone and 22% of users purchasing fakes through influencers, the scale of the problem is massive. 

Currently, 38 major platforms - comprising 29 social networks and 9 marketplaces - allow for video content. Bad actors are strategically exploiting this format to conceal IP violations from traditional optical character recognition (OCR) and static image-matching tools.

The Costly "Play-and-Pause" Bottleneck

For Brand Protection Managers, Online Brand Protection (OBP) Analysts, and members of the IP Counsel, the rise of video commerce has created a massive enforcement "blind spot". This creates a challenge when enforcing marketplace and social media video content monitoring.

Until now, analysts have been forced to manually hit play on every single video to review its content. This "play-and-pause" bottleneck is overwhelming and costly. 

Teams simply cannot keep pace with the sheer volume of video listings across platforms like TikTok and Shopee.

The Solution: Automated Video Protection in Zeal 2.0

To combat this, Corsearch is announcing Video Protection - a first-to-market capability within the Zeal 2.0 ecosystem.

Video Protection bridges the gap between static image monitoring and the complex world of video commerce. The technology automatically captures key frames from video listings and attaches them directly to posts. 

By analysing video content with the same speed, rigor, and AI-powered precision they already rely on for static images, adding an additional layer to visual AI for brand safety.

Key Benefits & Use Cases

Unrivaled Detection

While bad actors have mastered hiding keywords and text, Video Protection identifies logos, packaging and other indicators, and trademarks buried deep inside video that traditional methods searches miss.

Actionable Enforcement

Automatically converts video listings into actionable enforcement evidence. Teams can instantly isolate and prioritize high-risk video content using the "Video Protection" filter in the Zeal 2.0 Insights view.

Future-Ready Strategy

As Brand Protection trends evolve, the ability to process video is no longer optional. This tool is built to directly combat the influencer-driven counterfeit economy at its source and tackle the rise of ‘Live Shopping’.

Always-On and Ready to Go

As the first solution to deliver anti-counterfeiting video analysis, Corsearch's Video Protection delivers zero-touch integration.

It is included as a standard, always-on feature across all Zeal 2.0 Online Brand Protection plans, rather than being a premium add-on.

The feature requires no setup and is already live for all existing online Brand Protection customers.
