Trademark Counterfeiting

Counterfeiting presents a unique challenge to nearly every brand owner. While maintaining a calm appearance on the surface, safeguarding a brand’s integrity demands constant vigilance and strategic action. At Vaudra International, our decades of experience and countless investigations across diverse industries provide us with a deep understanding of the ever-evolving tactics of counterfeiters. We use this expertise to offer innovative strategies that help our clients detect, disrupt, and deter counterfeiting activity.

Comprehensive Support for Every Stage of Brand Protection

Whether you are a brand owner directly facing these challenges or outside counsel supporting a brand, we provide specialized solutions tailored to your needs. We anticipate potential factors and outcomes, guided by the facts and evidence, to help you navigate the process—from identifying suspect goods in the marketplace to gathering robust evidence and pursuing the most effective enforcement actions. We understand that your situation is unique, and our strategies are designed to align with your specific goals and protect what matters most to you and your stakeholders.

While any unauthorized use of a trademark can harm your brand, counterfeiting poses a particular threat due to its deliberate deception and potential impact on consumer trust and safety. Our investigations are designed to uncover the critical evidence needed to expose these activities and build strong cases. We also consider factors like knowledge and intent, which can influence legal strategies and enhance outcomes.

We are easy to engage and flexible in our approach, whether you need a one-off intervention or a more comprehensive, ongoing plan. By understanding your initial concerns and the challenges you face, we collaborate with you to find the right balance of support that remains responsive to your evolving priorities.
