Secure Maximum Protection For Your Intellectual Property

Our experience in working on both sides of the intellectual property arena has given us the advantage of being able to not only assist companies in the investigation of theft, but also in the protection of such valuable assets. However, no amount of security measures can ensure the protection of intellectual property unless a company is willing to prosecute contract violations or conduct investigations into possible infringement matters.

Perpetrators of intellectual property theft often see an easy opportunity, but they are definitely more reluctant when protective measures are instituted, and the target company puts teeth into its protection policies. Vigilant reactive measures can ultimately produce pro-active results. For instance, following the “Napster” controversy, the majority of former ‘thieves’ of copyrighted music no longer attempt to openly distribute it. This was a high-profile example of how full infringement investigations, followed by prosecution, can immediately reduce the effect of intellectual property loss, and maximize its protection in the future.

Along with strict enforcement of policies relating to infringement and contract violations, companies can overcome inadequate physical and intellectual security measures by becoming educated about their vulnerabilities, and working to correct them. can assist all types of companies in assessing security risks, and taking pro-active steps for the protection of intellectual property. We also help them minimize the need for investigations and prosecution of infringement or contract violations by performing one or more of the following services:

• Due Diligence Investigations
• Employment Background Checks
• Security Risk Analysis
• Routine and Random Penetration Attempts
• Regular Competitive Intelligence Inquiries
• Installation of CCTV Surveillance
• Routine and Random TSCM Sweeps

In addition, recommends that companies conduct regular internal seminars for employees which address the significance of information and physical security, as well as the relationship between intellectual property loss and their paycheck.
