Intellectual Property (IP)
What We Investigate
In business, the breach of intellectual property is a common problem. From brand protection, to trademark infringements to counterfeit and gray markets investigations, there is a wide scope of work in evidence gathering and investigations to protect the company’s brand, reputation and products.
Our role is to support the brand protection programme from market surveys to ensure distributorship channels are working together for the brand, up to enforcement support should there be a need for such an action, including post raid support.

- Trap Purchases (both physical and digital purchases)
- Market Survey (both physical and digital surveys)
- Brand Breach
- Factory Audits
