 Conducting investigations into the infringers designated by clients |
| |
| |
We are able to conduct in-depth investigations into targets suspected of infringing trademarks, copyright and patents or otherwise engaging in unfair competition. Specifically, we identify the history, location, manner and scope of the infringing activities. Our investigations enable us to obtain the evidence necessary to impose legal liability on infringers.
We conduct such investigations in cooperation with the government notary office, where it is necessary to authenticate the evidence we obtain. |

| Tracing the sources of counterfeit or infringing products |
| |
| |
As counterfeits make their appearance on the market, our extensive network of informants and investigators uniquely positions us to trace the chain of supply from retailers to wholesalers, and thence back to the manufacturing source. We are also able to directly locate manufacturers via the same nationwide investigative network. |

| Conducting IP-related market research |
| |
| |
We can identify market share, scope and extent to which counterfeits or other infringing products are prevalent in a given market by resort to on-site investigations, procurement of samples and/or tracing investigations. |

| Investigating trademark proprietor |
We are able to provide you with information regarding registration and use of a specific trademark, as well as information relative to its publicity and general information about the trademark proprietor. We accomplish this via on-site investigations and market surveys.
|
| Investigating the use of an identified trademark on the market |
We are able to satisfy your need for comprehensive and accurate knowledge about a specific trademark, in the event that you wish to file an application for cancellation, assignment, license of a registered trademark or enter into a cooperative relationship with the trademark proprietor. |
| We are able to satisfy our client’s need for information regarding the actual use of a specific trademark on the market; this includes whether the trademark is actually in current use, whether it enjoys a good repute, whether products bearing the trademark enjoy good sales, and a host of other relevant information. To obtain the requisite data, we conduct investigations into ten targets as a matter of standard procedure; these comprise seven retailers and three wholesalers. |
