Who is ThornCrest for?

At ThornCrest, we partner with growth-stage brands that are expanding across both e-commerce and retail channels. If your business has invested in intellectual property (IP), brand protection isn’t optional—it’s essential. Just like liability insurance is fundamental to operations, safeguarding your brand ensures long-term value and stability.

Think of brand protection as both a shield and a strategy: it defends your IP and revenue while reinforcing your market position. Our mission is to help you secure what you’ve built so you can scale with confidence.

ThornCrest offers flexible solutions to meet your needs—whether you're looking for a powerful SaaS platform or a fully managed service, we’re built to protect your business wherever it sells.

If you sell products online, ThornCrest is for you. We represent emerging and established brands, industry disruptors, and innovators. Using cutting edge technology and industry tools driven by AI, ThornCrest Brand Protection monitors your brands and products across all channels— 24/7, rapidly identifying and removing fake/counterfeit products, revealing and removing unauthorized resellers, and protecting your reputation everywhere your customers might be. If you have a hot product, bad actors are already plotting ways to make money off of your momentum and siphon your profits. ThornCrest Brand Protection is your bulwark against marketplace threats and your resource for revenue recovery.

ThornCrest Law is our legal division. Part of the ThornCrest difference is that we have an in-house team of attorneys enforcing your intellectual property rights. When you experience violations of your trademarks and patents, you’re going to have an IP attorney on your case.

Finally, ThornCrest Expand is the sales agency that’s more than a sales agency. The name says it all. We take the quality brand and products you’ve developed and we guide you through tangible expansion—in revenue and reach. If you feel that your sales have plateaued or you’d like to break into new markets, our Expand team is poised to lead you to the next level.
