Dupe Killer
Creative Protection SpecialistsIconic and market-leading designs are being copied on a mass scale; systematically finding the copies and clearing the market has been impossible.
Until now. Welcome to Dupe Killer.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We disagree
You have spent years investing and innovating in creating your unique designs; building and shaping that signature look or product aesthetic. Creating a unique style that the market knows is yours and associates with your products and reputation. But the copycats are quicker than ever; they copy your design and have it on sale in what feels like seconds.
And now it’s not just the big retailers ripping you off; thanks to the web, anyone can source dupes from China, market through social media and be up and running with a professional looking website in a matter of days, and for pennies.
Protecting your designs has been a nightmare for years; it’s not like tackling counterfeits, where there are established systems and processes which help you take down the fakes (and the fakers); tackling copycats is patchy and unpredictable and as most are discovered by chance, there’s no reliable data or understanding of the extent of the problem.
Introducing Dupe Killer
Using cutting edge and patent pending artificial intelligence technology, Dupe Killer, our copycat detection solution, is trained to recognise key features of your design, whether that be an entire product, part of it or simply the colour of your packaging. Once trained, it investigates the web, online marketplaces and social media platforms to identify products that try to take advantage of your hard work and investment in creating innovative designs.
