| Trademark, Copyright, Design and Patent Infringement Investigations |
Greves Protection Management (GPM): Where Trademark, Copyright, Design & Patent investigations are conducted in a discreet & confidential manner and all information is corroborated with at least two sources wherever possible.
At GPM we undertake assignments on behalf of clients to detect the infringements of copyrights & trademarks by conducting simultaneous market survey in various cities. Subsequently the perpetrators of counterfeiting are raided which invariably has a wide spread effect and the menace of counterfeiting is considerably checked.
Our expert team of investigators and the constant liaison with law enforcing agencies ensure that the copyright and trademark investigations culminate and reach the only logical conclusion that the unscrupulous entities indulging in copyright and / or trademark infringements are brought to book.
If you want your copyright & trademark protected from infringement, GPM will happily offer you complete protection at an affordable cost. On the basis of information provided by you we shall make research from various sources like Corporate Registrations, Falls Business name entries, research directories and internet databases to establish a profile of the entity we are investigating. After having established the owner, we contact the individual or the company discreetly and enquire from them about the use of their mark. The investigation repot on completion may include:

| Parallel Trade Investigations |
We have a vast experience in assisting our clients to identify the source of diverted product and illegal internal activity.
Our head office is in New Delhi and we have branches in Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chandigarh & Jaipur that manages other residential investigations all over India.
We have conducted investigations in most industries that have grey market issues and have assisted brand owners by gathering evidence to allow the client to resolve their internal and external issues. Some of the methods followed when conducting these investigations are as follows:
|
 |
Identifying the supply chain from the end seller to the source, to gather evidence against the manufacturers to initiate legal or other remedies. |
 |
We make trap purchases or collect samples together with offers to supply to use as evidence. |
 |
We have various facades that we use to make discreet trade approaches. |
 |
We conduct market surveys to highlight specific problems in the market place. |
 |
We use forensic analysis of products and packaging to assist with investigations. |
 |
We provide evidence for seizure and destruction orders of infringing products. |
|
We can assist the client with choosing and liaising with local lawyers in tough areas where they do not usually have any IP expertise.
