Brand Protection + Counterfeiting

We protect some of the most valuable brands in the world. We offer a wide array of brand management and trademark services, including combating the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods.

Recent success:

• We were retained by a global manufacturer to assist with its investigation of suspected counterfeiting in Southeast Michigan. We assisted the company in presenting the results of that investigation to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Ultimately, the U.S. Attorney and agents from the federal government served warrants, arrested, and charged a key figure in the counterfeit underworld. That individual has agreed to a plead guilty and, as part of his plea deal, has assisted the company by, among other things, identifying the counterfeiters. He, individually, and on behalf of his now out-of-business distribution company, also agreed to a civil consent judgement and injunctive order and has executed an affidavit naming names, which will be filed in a separate civil action in federal court.
