Intellectual Property Investigations

  • Brand Security Corporation is a licensed private investigation firm in Arizona, California, and Nevada. It was established in 1998 in Los Angeles, California. The company’s principals have been investigators in California since 1987 and have been involved in thousands of investigations, ranging from high-profile divorce cases to intricate counterfeiting operations for multiple Fortune 500 Companies. Our firm has over 100 years of combined Intellectual Property investigative experience.

    We’re members of the International Trademark Association (INTA), with one of our principals previously appointed to the INTA Anti-Counterfeiting & Enforcement SubCommittee and former Co-Chair of the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition Investigators Task Force Committee.

    Our agency was created to provide our clients with effective brand protection and corporate investigative services. Our professional investigators ensure enforcement is conducted effectively while maintaining a positive brand association for our clients. Our most important goal is protecting the goodwill associated with our client’s most essential asset, their branding.’

    Branding is a crucial process in building a successful business and identity. The integrity of your business relies on the names, logos, tag lines, and distinctive attributes that make your product or service unique. The lack of protection of these assets could be detrimental to building brand loyalty and turning consumers into loyal and repeat customers.

    Alternatively, a heavy-handed approach could trigger a negative news or social media response. The best brand protection programs include a carefully weighted response to violations; this is where we excel. We realize that every offender should not be the target of a criminal investigation or civil lawsuit.

    Brand Security Corporation has long been an industry leader in intellectual property investigations. We work closely with brands to quickly identify and enforce intellectual property violations while adhering to your company ethics. Our vast expertise spans all types of IP investigations, from online and field investigations to event enforcement.
