BRAND PROTECTION SERVICES
We are very proud of the assistance that we provide our clients. We specialize in:
We ensure that we develop an intimate knowledge of our clients' concerns and needs,
and we work closely with our clients to address their concerns. We have been
instrumental participants in civil and criminal litigation which have been brought against
grey market companies and counterfeit manufacturers and sellers. Our business has
grown because our clients have chosen to refer us to other companies with similar
concerns.
Recent Case:
We recently assisted two clients in a counterfeit investigation in the People's Republic
of China. The case resulted in the seizure of $25,000,000 (Hong Kong Dollars) of
counterfeit computer and telephone equipment. Twelve organized crime members
were arrested, several factories were closed, and an organization that employed 250
people in its criminal enterprise was put out of business. We developed market
intelligence, had undercover communications with the perpetrators, made undercover
purchases of equipment, and assisted in developing probable cause for search and
arrest warrants.
