Marketplace trust & safety, with the operator graph the bans are missing.
Ban a storefront and the operator registers the next one — often the same week, sometimes on your own platform under a name you haven't seen yet. The graph connects storefront brands to the operations behind them, from public records.
Why enforcement feels like whack-a-mole
The unit of abuse is the operator
Storefronts are disposable by design. Enforcement that ends at the storefront resets the game instead of ending it: the operator's other brands keep selling.
Cross-marketplace blindness
The operator banned elsewhere onboards on your platform under a fresh brand with a fresh trademark. Nothing in your own data connects the two; the trademark register does.
Your INFORM data is an untapped signal
The identity disclosures marketplaces collect under the INFORM Act join cleanly to trademark ownership, and that join is what turns a pile of storefront names into a map of operations.
The graph, at platform scale
Operator clusters with evidence
Published clusters name the registered entities operating as one, each connection carrying its evidence, from USPTO assignment records to verified shared identifiers. Never a guess: clusters below the evidence bar don't publish.
Feeds for bulk screening
Nightly verdicts.json and sellers.json feeds carry per-brand ownership verdicts and resolved seller identities: the graph as files your systems can join against.
API at onboarding and review
Per-brand lookups and batch screening with the same facts and receipts, computed from the register at request time.
Questions
How do you decide two storefronts are one operator?
Only from evidence: USPTO assignment records, shared verified identifiers in public filings and disclosures, and machine adjudication above a measured false-positive bar. Connections that don't clear the bar are not published — silence over guessing.
Can we consume this inside our own systems?
Yes. The feeds are bulk JSON refreshed nightly, and the API answers per-brand at request time. Commercial licensing for use inside a product is on the pricing page.
Is a cluster an accusation?
No. A cluster states that public records connect these entities, each with its receipt. Plenty of legitimate companies hold many brands; the graph reports the structure, and the facts stay facts.
