A customer messages your team about a product they bought online that looks like yours, but isn’t. Then another listing shows up. Different sellers, same product photos, same brand name.

This is the point where you might start looking into brand protection companies. And that's where Red Points comes in.

Red Points Overview

Pros

  • Fully managed platform — Red Points' IP-Ops specialists operate detection, validation, enforcement, and continuous optimization on behalf of clients.
  • Unlimited detections and takedowns on a flat-fee model. Enforcement never capped by analyst hours or package limits.
  • Uses AI models trained on 2.7 billion data points to detect and prioritize infringements.

Cons

  • It can be more expensive than other brand protection providers.
  • Trademark registration and renewal is handled through industry partners rather than in-house.
  • Standard reporting may not meet every internal team's requirements out of the box.

Is Red Points Right For Your Needs?

Who Would be a Good Fit for Red Points?

Red Points works best for companies that actively sell products or digital content online and need help stopping counterfeits, unauthorized sellers, scams, and brand impersonation. If your team struggles to monitor marketplaces, social media, domains, and websites for misuse of your brand, a platform like Red Points can automate detection and takedowns so you can protect your revenue and reputation.

  • Brands Looking to Scale Enforcement Without Scaling Headcount
    Brands that want to expand their protection program without adding internal resources can rely on Red Points' proven AI and fully managed protection program operated by IP-Ops specialists who can implement an enforcement strategy on your behalf.
  • Fast-Growing Brands Needing Cost Predictability
    Scale brand protection without scaling costs. Red Points' flat-fee model includes unlimited detections and takedowns, meaning enforcement capacity grows with your brand without triggering variable pricing or hitting package limits during seasonal spikes.
  • Brands Recovering Revenue from Infringers
    Go beyond takedowns with Red Points' Revenue Recovery Program, designed for brands that want to pursue counterfeit operations through high-scale litigation and recover tangible revenue lost to infringement activity.
  • Global Enterprise Brands
    Protect revenue and reputation across all digital channels with end-to-end managed enforcement.
  • Brands with High Seller Abuse
    Identify and dismantle entire networks of unauthorized sellers, not just isolated listings, using cross-channel seller clustering built on 2.7 billion monthly data points.
  • Brands Expanding into China
    Continuously monitor and enforce trademark rights in domestic China platforms like Goofish, Pinduoduo, WeChat, and Douyin that are often inaccessible from outside the mainland.

Who Would be a Bad Fit for Red Points?

Red Points is designed for companies dealing with large-scale brand threats online. If your business rarely encounters counterfeit products, impersonation, or intellectual property theft, the platform will likely be unnecessary. Smaller organizations or businesses that don’t sell widely online may find the tool too advanced for their needs.

  • Local Service Businesses Without Digital Assets
    Organizations that operate purely offline or locally — without digital products, branded goods, or significant online presence — typically face little risk from online impersonation, piracy, or counterfeit listings.
  • Early-Stage Brands With Low Infringement Risk
    Companies that haven’t yet developed significant brand visibility or online distribution may not encounter meaningful infringement activity. Brand protection becomes more valuable as brand awareness, online sales, and digital presence expand.
  • Businesses Without Intellectual Property
    Red Points is designed to protect trademarks, branded products, copyrighted content, and digital assets. Organizations without identifiable brand assets or intellectual property to defend are unlikely to benefit from brand protection automation.
  • Companies With Minimal Online Brand Exposure
    Organizations that sell exclusively through private contracts or controlled distribution channels — with little public brand presence online — may face limited risk from impersonation, piracy, or counterfeit listings. In these cases, large-scale digital monitoring and enforcement may not be necessary.
  • Businesses Selling Custom Contract Work
    Companies that deliver custom services or one-off contract projects (rather than branded products or digital assets) typically have fewer online brand protection risks.

Wie wir Tools testen und bewerten

Wir haben jahrelang unser Software-Test- und Bewertungssystem aufgebaut, verfeinert und verbessert. Das Bewertungsraster wurde entwickelt, um die Feinheiten der Softwareauswahl zu erfassen und aufzuzeigen, was ein Tool effektiv macht. Dabei konzentrieren wir uns auf kritische Aspekte des Entscheidungsprozesses. Im Folgenden können Sie genau nachvollziehen, wie unsere Tests und Bewertungen über sieben Kriterien hinweg funktionieren. Dies ermöglicht eine unparteiische Bewertung der Software basierend auf Kernfunktionen, besonderen Merkmalen, Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Onboarding, Kundenservice, Integrationen, Kundenrezensionen und Preis-Leistung.

Kernfunktionen (25% der Gesamtbewertung)

Der Ausgangspunkt unserer Bewertung ist stets die Kernfunktionalität des Tools. Verfügt es über die grundlegenden Merkmale und Funktionen, die ein Nutzer erwarten würde? Sind einige dieser Kernfunktionen nur in hochpreisigen Tarifen verfügbar? Im Kern erwarten wir, dass ein Tool den Basisfunktionen der Konkurrenz standhält.

Besondere Merkmale (25% der Gesamtbewertung)

Als nächstes bewerten wir außergewöhnliche, herausragende Funktionen, die über die übliche Kernfunktionalität hinausgehen. Eine hohe Punktzahl spiegelt spezialisierte oder einzigartige Merkmale wider, die das Produkt schneller, effizienter oder wertvoller für den Nutzer machen. Wir bewerten außerdem, wie einfach es ist, das Tool in andere häufig verwendete Anwendungen im Tech-Stack zu integrieren, um die Funktionalität und den Nutzen der Software zu erweitern. Tools, die viele native Integrationen, Drittanbieter-Anbindungen sowie API-Zugriff für eigene Integrationen bieten, schneiden am besten ab.

Benutzerfreundlichkeit (10% der Gesamtbewertung)

Wir berücksichtigen, wie schnell und einfach sich Aufgaben, die zu den Kernfunktionen gehören, mit dem Tool ausführen lassen. Hoch bewertete Software ist gut gestaltet, intuitiv bedienbar, bietet mobile Apps, Vorlagen und lässt auch komplexe Aufgaben einfach erscheinen.

Onboarding (10% der Gesamtbewertung)

Uns ist bewusst, wie wichtig eine schnelle Akzeptanz im Team für eine neue Plattform ist. Daher bewerten wir, wie leicht sich das Tool mit minimaler Einweisung erlernen und anwenden lässt und wie schnell Teammitglieder auch ohne Vorerfahrung loslegen können. Eine hohe Punktzahl deutet darauf hin, dass kaum oder gar keine Unterstützung notwendig ist.

Kundenservice (10% der Gesamtbewertung)

Wir prüfen, wie schnell und einfach es ist, bei Problemen Hilfe per Telefon, Live-Chat oder Wissensdatenbank zu erhalten. Tools und Unternehmen, die Support in Echtzeit anbieten, erhalten die besten Bewertungen; Chatbots schneiden am schlechtesten ab.

Kundenrezensionen (10% der Gesamtbewertung)

Neben unseren eigenen Tests und Bewertungen berücksichtigen wir den Net Promoter Score aktueller und ehemaliger Kunden. Wir prüfen, wie wahrscheinlich sie sich erneut für das Tool bezüglich der Kernfunktionen entscheiden würden. Hoch bewertete Software spiegelt einen hohen Net Promoter Score der Nutzer wider.

Preis-Leistung (10% der Gesamtbewertung)

Abschließend bewerten wir unter Berücksichtigung aller anderen Kriterien den Durchschnittspreis der Einsteiger-Tarife im Verhältnis zu den Kernfunktionen sowie den Wert der anderen bewerteten Aspekte. Software, die mehr für weniger bietet, wird besser bewertet.

Ease of Use

Red Points offers a clean, easy-to-navigate dashboard that gives teams a clear view of counterfeit detections, takedown progress, and overall brand protection activity in one place. Automated workflows handle much of the monitoring and removal process, reducing the need for constant manual work and helping teams act quickly when issues appear. While there can be a short learning period at the start, the setup process is structured and guided, making it easier for teams to get up and running. Once configured, the platform fits naturally into day-to-day operations and helps teams stay on top of brand threats without adding unnecessary complexity.

For brands that prefer a fully managed approach, Red Points' IP-Ops team operates the platform on their behalf, handling ongoing detection tuning, rule-building, and enforcement execution so internal teams can focus on strategy rather than day-to-day operations.

Onboarding

Getting started with Red Points typically begins with setting up your brand assets, trademarks, and key product information so the platform can recognize potential infringements. From there, monitoring rules and enforcement settings are configured to match where your brand is most exposed online, such as marketplaces, websites, and social platforms. Once activated, the system begins detecting violations, and the team provides guidance to help you review incidents and manage takedowns through the platform.

Red Points also provides structured onboarding with Implementation Specialists, a dedicated CSM, and an IP-Ops setup, which reduces time-to-value compared to self-service alternatives.

Customer Support

Red Points offers several ways for users to get help, starting with direct contact through their support and sales team via their contact page or demo request form.

In addition to direct assistance, the platform provides an FAQs section that answers common questions about brand protection, enforcement, and platform capabilities.

Users can also access guides, insights, and educational materials through the Red Points resources hub, which helps teams better understand brand protection strategies and how to get the most out of the platform.

Integrations

Though Red Points does not explicitly state integrations with workplace tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams, the platform does provide coverage for major online marketplaces, websites, and social platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba to detect and remove infringements.

It also provides API access for custom integrations with internal systems and workflows.

Value for Money

Red Points operates on a flat-fee model with unlimited detections and takedowns, which contrasts with many competitors that charge per detection, per enforcement action, or per takedown. This flat-fee structure can make costs more predictable for companies managing large volumes of infringements. For exact figures, you'll need to request pricing, which scales based on protection type: counterfeits, gray market, impersonation, or privacy. Red Points organizes its offering into three main plans:

  • Starter Plan: Designed as a self-service entry tier, this plan includes unlimited detections and takedowns, protection for one trademark, marketplace monitoring, AI-powered detection tools, dashboards for tracking activity, and standard onboarding support.
  • Professional Plan: Everything in Starter, plus expanded coverage such as protection for multiple trademarks or designs, catalog image protection, social media monitoring, priority enforcement, and additional service options. This tier is typically fully managed and includes dedicated customer success support and IP operations oversight.
  • Enterprise Plan: Built for organizations facing complex brand abuse issues. It includes broader trademark coverage, standalone website protection, paid search and social ad protection, advanced dashboards, and optional add-ons. Enterprise programs are fully managed and often include senior strategic advisory support and revenue recovery services.
