Marq Vision's AI fights fakes online
Founded in 2020 by Harvard Law grad Mark Lee, Marq Vision uses AI-powered computer vision to spot and remove counterfeit products—think luxury goods, AI chips, and even drugs—across 1,500+ e-commerce and social platforms.
In the past year alone, they flagged 50 million potential IP violations and achieved a 99% takedown rate.
Big names like LVMH are already clients.
What's next for the startup?
Marq Vision is gearing up for bigger things: they're investing more in AI tech and expanding into Japan, after establishing operations in the US, Korea, China, and Europe.
They've also opened a Tokyo office this year to help protect Japan's booming anime scene from fakes.
