Hear from Shark Tank Companies
- TURBO TRUSSER - Brian Halasinski (Season 14 Episode Two)
- WAD-FREE - Cyndi Bray (Season 13)
“After our appearance on Shark Tank, we unfortunately encountered counterfeits of our product. Thankfully, we turned to the IACC MarketSafe Program and experienced tremendous success. The program’s expedited take-down actions swiftly removed the infringing listings and sellers from the platform, safeguarding our brand’s integrity. The hands-on support and expertise of the dedicated Chinese-speaking analysts were invaluable in resolving the complex issues we faced…The IACC MarketSafe Program has proven to be an invaluable resource for any brand facing counterfeit challenges, and we highly recommend it for its unparalleled success and unwavering dedication.”
“I pitched Wad-Free® on Shark Tank in Season 13. Since my laundry gadget created a brand new product category which solves a problem most people have when they wash and dry their bedding, it is essential to have a strong IP wall to protect my rights. My issued utility patents, trademarks, and copyrights have taken down multiple infringers since my Shark Tank air date.
The IACC has been a solid partner in protecting my IP rights, both in the US and China marketplaces. Not only have they taken down knockoffs coming off Alibaba and AliExpress through the MarketSafe program, they have been instrumental in protecting my rights on Amazon as well.
Wad-Free became a full IACC Member before my free year of MarketSafe expired. Their services are invaluable to SMEs, and I can’t recommend the IACC strongly enough.”
