Anti-Counterfeit Investigations

Trademark counterfeiting causes over $500 billion in annual losses to U.S. businesses, according to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC). These counterfeit operations not only damage brand reputation and revenue but also often fund criminal activities like drug trafficking, money laundering, and terrorism. To protect your intellectual property and stop counterfeit distribution, hiring experienced private investigators for thorough trademark counterfeit investigations is essential. These experts help identify counterfeit sources, uncover illegal networks, and provide critical evidence to enforce your trademark rights, ensuring your brand stays secure and trusted by customers. Early detection and proactive investigations can save your business millions.

What Is a Trademark and Why Does It Matter?

A trademark is a symbol, word, or logo that legally identifies a company’s products or services. It helps customers know where a product comes from and sets it apart from others. For this reason, protecting your trademark is important to keep your brand trusted and real. At Nathans Investigations, our private investigators carefully look for any unauthorized use by doing detailed trademark counterfeit investigations.

How We Handle Trademark Counterfeit Investigations

Our team treats every case with care, focus, and confidentiality. For example, we:

• Identify who is illegally using your trademark

• Check fake products and find out where they come from

• Track how counterfeit goods are sold, whether in stores, online, or through warehouses

• Measure the size and reach of the counterfeit operation

By doing these things, we find the facts needed to protect your brand and your rights.

Undercover Purchases: Getting Proof of Fake Goods

One key method we use is undercover purchases. Our investigators act as customers to buy counterfeit products without being noticed. Then, they take notes, photos, and collect samples for use in legal cases. This helps build strong proof. Our experience covers fake clothing, movies, drinks, cigarettes, and more.

Custom Plans to Protect Your Brand

Because every case is different, we create a plan just for you. Our steps include:

• Searching for counterfeit products in stores and online

• Buying samples for testing

• Checking if licensing agreements are real

• Watching suspects quietly with undercover surveillance

• Running background checks on people and companies

• Searching business records and official databases
