Cross-jurisdictional Capabilities

Law Enforcement Background

Many members of our team have experience working in or closely with law enforcement. We know what it takes to build a compelling case, and we’re prepared to deliver it for you.

Seamless and Unified Approach

Tired of playing whack-a-mole? If your current enforcement approach is temporary and limited and you struggle to make a lasting impact, we can help. Our strategy is to proactively identify high-impact cases and make recommendations for effective enforcement actions that lead to true disruption rather than inconvenience for bad actors.

Online Enforcement

When infringing websites or marketplace listings are identified through our online monitoring service, we conduct takedowns. Every lead identified is reviewed by a team of expert analysts to determine the risk to your customers, reputation, and revenue.

Next, we further disrupt infringers where it is most damaging, their finances. We accomplish this by removing their payment mechanisms through our trusted partnerships with payment processors such as Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.

Criminal Enforcement

We help our clients build strong cases that are readily actionable by law enforcement. We do this by obtaining the right evidence and following strict chain of custody protocols.

Our experience enhancing collaboration, developing industry partnerships, and facilitating coordination between local law enforcement and government agencies helps to move cases forward.

Through our Customs support programs, we provide training and continued support to Customs agencies around the world to ensure they are equipped to stop counterfeit goods at the border. We can also work with law enforcement to carry out raids and seizures of counterfeit goods.

Civil Enforcement

If you’re looking to take a more proactive stance and would like to pursue civil enforcement actions, here are ways we can assist:

  • Develop a Warning Letter program to educate consumers.
  • Put infringers on notice with Knock & Talks.
  • Prove willful intent with Cease and Desist (C&D) letters.
  • Pursue civil litigation and obtain settlements to deter infringers and recover lost revenue.

IP House can also provide trial support and expert witness statements when needed.
