Why Are Digital Investigations Essential?
Intellectual property is only as secure as the measures taken to protect it. Without comprehensive digital surveillance, companies risk missing counterfeit activities, leading to global revenue losses, market share decline, and reputational damage.
An effective strategy against online counterfeiting requires advanced digital tracking technologies. AI-driven big data analytics, reverse image search, and forensic investigations help detect fake products, fraudulent sellers, and plagiarism patterns early.
Securing digital evidence is crucial for legal action. Screenshots, server logs, and transaction data often serve as key evidence in lawsuits. Digital forensics can trace counterfeit sources, uncover IP addresses, and track server locations.

Case Studies
The so-called “junk patent” of a competitor interfered with our client’s business in the Chinese market. As the client’s own patent had been granted two days after the opponent's application, and therefore not published at the time of the Chinese application, it was impossible to claim it as prior art in a cancellation procedure. However, our client could prove the prior use of his patent in the market and delete the opposing property right.
In-depth analysis of a market-leading German pump manufacturer’s trademark applications exposed dangerous gaps in the brand's subsections. Chinese counterfeiters could have easily taken advantage by filling these gaps, for instance when it comes to online services. Thanks to such gap analysis, this German company could close the gaps precautionarily.
CHINABRAND conducted comprehensive patent analyzes for an Austrian producer of new materials. It came as a surprise that Chinese competitors were - in some segments - far more advanced than expected. This information encouraged our client to modify his strategy and business goals just in time.
A trademark registered in Taiwan posed a serious threat to a German machine manufacturer operating in China. As it was impossible to pursue this target by legal means, we carried out an undercover purchase of this trademark for our client.
