Investigations
Your Intellectual property (IP) rights are the legal rights of ownership awarded by law to individuals or organizations
over creative works such as inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images, and designs used in
commerce. They give the creator the right to prevent others from making unauthorized use of these properties.
The first major step in ascertaining the validity, scope and level of damage of suspected infringement of your
Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, Patent and Trademark of ideas, businesses and brands is a thorough
investigation process.
Enforcement
After investigations have confirmed the occurrence of infringement crime, clients can enforce their
rights through enforcement action against the offenders. We also advise on the Enforcement Strategy.
Once a decision has been taken on the approach, we then work with the relevant Law Enforcement
Authorities to arrange for enforcement which may involve market raids culminating in seizure of infringing goods,
closure of culprits’ shops and or factories, arrests of the culprits or their representatives and interrogation for deeper insights.
