Loggerhead Tools is a manufacturer of unique, multi-size Bionic Wrenches in Pennsylvania. Dan Brown Jr.’s father invented and patented those tools, but that hasn’t stopped Chinese counterfeiters from flooding online marketplaces with knockoff wrenches.
Brown’s company isn’t large enough to pay for sophisticated software services to take down knockoffs on platforms such as Amazon and eBay. Instead, he hires a part-time employee to hunt for counterfeits and get the platforms to take them down. The effort results in 20 take-downs per week.
