Alibaba brand protection
Monitor suspicious Alibaba.com listings with Valigard.
Valigard searches Alibaba.com for supplier listings that reuse your product photos, often the wholesale source of copies sold elsewhere. It keeps each listing's page, price and supplier details, and prepares your complaint for the Alibaba International IP Protection Platform (IPP), the same portal that handles AliExpress, Lazada and Miravia.

Reporting on Alibaba
How Alibaba handles reports.
Complaints about Alibaba.com listings go through the Alibaba International IP Protection Platform at ipp.aidcgroup.net, the same portal used for AliExpress, Lazada and Miravia. Rights owners and their agents register their IP, file takedown requests and follow counter-notices. Taobao, Tmall and 1688 are handled by a separate Taobao and Tmall Group portal.

Valigard and Alibaba IPP
IPP removes supplier listings on Alibaba.com. Valigard connects them to the retail copies it finds elsewhere, keeps a saved page of each listing, and tracks which suppliers come back after a takedown.
Valigard doesn't send reports
You file every report through the Alibaba International IP Protection Platform (IPP), so the decision stays with you. Valigard makes sure you have what the marketplace asks for, and tracks what happens next.
FAQ
Questions about Alibaba.
Is reporting on Alibaba.com different from AliExpress?
No. Both go through the Alibaba International IP Protection Platform (ipp.aidcgroup.net), with the same account and IP registration.
Does the same portal cover Taobao, Tmall and 1688?
No. Those marketplaces use the Taobao and Tmall Group IP protection platform (ipp.alibabagroup.com). Check which platform a listing belongs to before you file.
Why monitor a wholesale marketplace?
Supplier listings are often where copies start. Finding them early helps you understand where retail copies come from and report them before they multiply.
Can Valigard remove a supplier listing?
No. Alibaba decides on each complaint. Valigard prepares the evidence; you file in IPP and log the case number in Valigard.
