The Investigative Consultants team understands the rights of intellectual property owners that have been the victims of counterfeiting or piracy. Protecting the rights of IP owners using all available resources is an important factor in the overall fight against IP Crimes. The Investigative Consultants team understands that the collection of restitution is a key component of all effective brand protection programs.

Our team is very familiar with the various methods in obtaining restitution in both the civil and criminal arenas. The Investigative Consultants team and our affiliated attorneys have collected millions of dollars in restitution on behalf of the brand owners we represent. We understand that we must complete diligent and complete investigations in order to obtain solid evidence on behalf of our clients.

In today’s economy, it is important for brand owners to aggressively pursue restitution from the counterfeiters and pirates when they have been victimized. Not every counterfeiting and piracy case should be pursued for restitution, however it is important that when appropriate, victims should pursue restitution. Trademark counterfeiters and pirates quite often escape the full responsibility for their actions when a brand owner does not fully exercise their rights to be made whole and collect restitution. IP Crimes are driven by the money. It is important to not allow the counterfeiters to keep the “fruits of their crime.”  The photographs below depict money that was seized during law enforcement actions in trademark counterfeiting cases:

It is the goal of the Investigative Consultants team to aggressively pursue the counterfeiters to ensure that the victim brand owners are made whole and the criminals are not allowed the ability to keep their profits from their illegal activity. The overall approach to stopping IP Crimes must be a multi pronged approach that will make the counterfeiters feel that it is no longer a “low risk, high reward” crime.
