Rinseroo: Protecting Innovative Products with IP Moat

Rinseroo is a company dedicated to creating problem-solving tools that simplify life at home. Their patented slip-on connectors stretch up to five times their original size, instantly transforming showerheads and faucets into multifunctional rinsing, cleaning, and bathing machines.

Customers appreciate Rinseroo’s no-install design, which makes the product a versatile tool for various tasks around the house. Whether it’s cleaning the shower without getting wet or bathing pets easily, there are countless ways to use a Rinseroo. 

The Problem

As Rinseroo’s innovative designs gained popularity, the company faced a growing issue: counterfeit versions of their patented products, along with their original photography, began appearing on multiple online marketplaces. These knockoff products not only infringed on Rinseroo’s intellectual property but also posed a risk to the brand's reputation by offering lower-quality alternatives to unsuspecting customers.

Initially, Rinseroo partnered with Red Points, an alternative brand protection company, to combat these IP infringements. However, when Rinseroo sought to extend protection to include the marketplace Temu, the escalating costs quoted by Red Points led the company to explore more cost-effective alternatives.

After our initial analysis we discovered that even after a year with an alternative brand protection company, Rinseroo were still experiencing large quantities of counterfeits dominating the 'gateway' marketplaces such as AliExpress and Alibaba.

The rise of counterfeit Rinseroo products resulted in several negative consequences:

  • Brand Dilution: The presence of knockoffs confused customers and diluted Rinseroo’s strong brand identity, especially when these counterfeits failed to meet quality expectations.
  • Financial Loss: The sale of counterfeit products diverted potential customers away from Rinseroo, leading to lost revenue.
  • Customer Trust: With knockoff products circulating, Rinseroo risked damaging the trust and loyalty of customers who relied on the quality and functionality of the original product.

    The Solution

    Rinseroo made the decision to switch to IP Moat for their brand protection needs. IP Moat provided comprehensive IP protection across multiple online marketplaces, including Temu, at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional Intellectual Property solutions.

    IP Moat’s user-friendly portal enabled Rinseroo to easily track and report IP infringements with a click of a button.

    • Brand Integrity Restored: With fewer counterfeit products confusing customers, Rinseroo was able to re-establish its strong brand identity. Customers could once again trust that the Rinseroo products they purchased were authentic, high-quality items designed to solve household problems.
    • Increased Revenue: By removing counterfeit competition, Rinseroo regained potential lost sales. With their genuine products easier to find on online platforms, the company saw an improvement in sales, helping them recover revenue that had been previously diverted to counterfeiters.
    • Customer Trust Rebuilt: By removing subpar counterfeit products from the market, Rinseroo restored customer confidence in their brand. Customers could trust that the products they were purchasing delivered on the quality and functionality they expected from the original Rinseroo design.
