Brand abuse through trademark infringement and passing off can be extremely damaging to an organisation's business. The reputation and goodwill of trademarks associated with the goods and services offered by a company often tempt others to infringe for commercial gains.

Whether it is a company name, registered or un-registered trademark, domain name, design right, copyright or patent, we investigate those behind the alleged infringement. We obtain evidence through test or trap purchases, identify the key players and the scope of the infringing activity.

Our evidence is collated and reported to our clients to allow them to make an informed decision on what action to take to enforce and protect their trademark rights. Investigations are either conducted reactively as a result of a suspected infringement problem or pro actively through our MarketWatch® monitoring and investigation program.

We believe that our clients’ brands and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are their most important assets. Investigations into trademark infringement and passing off is just one of the services we can offer to assist clients protect and thus enhance the value of their IP rights.
