(April 23, 2018 – Hong Kong) Austreme has been successfully granted a patent for its brand discovery mechanism, which is adopted in their SiteInspect Web Content Monitoring service to help acquirers, payment service providers, banks and brand owners discover potential IP infringing products sold by online merchants. This patented technology effectively discovers and identifies brands, reducing the human resources required to manually inspect brands, and allows Austreme to process tens of millions of website analyses at high capacity.

Our patent qualification protects and differentiates our world class technology from our competitors,” said Terence Chau, the Director of Austreme.
Chau added, “From inventing the world first transaction laundering detection technology in 2010, Austreme always invests to serve clients with exclusive and leading technologies in the industry. The patent qualification has proved the innovation and uniqueness of our technology enjoyed by our clients all over the world. It has also remarked a milestone of Austreme’s development and asset value. We will continue with our machine learning and AI development to serve the market needs.”
About SiteInspect Web Content Monitoring Solution
SiteInspect is an exclusive solution designed for card schemes, acquirers and payment service providers to observe and examine the products, services and general content classification of merchant websites. SiteInspect assists in uncovering prohibited goods/services and suspicious content that is strictly prohibited by card system policies, such as the Visa Global Brand Protection Program (GBPP) and MasterCard Business Risk Assessment and Mitigation (BRAM), and local laws. With SiteInspect, risk management officers can gain an accurate interpretation of merchant websites and be able to ensure that merchant websites are in compliance with associated policies.
Its sustained web-crawling system slips through websites and identifies the brands, products and categories the website genuinely identifies as, as opposed to what the merchant them self describes. SiteInspect also detects any malware or phishing, to prevent it from obtaining users’ confidential data.
