Anti counterfeiting

Our investigators actively gather intelligence on counterfeit goods to identify infringers. We coordinate raids with authorities, support evidence collection, and help secure convictions.

Recent successes include:

  • Collaborating with Saudi Customs to seize counterfeit merchandise for a leading entertainment brand.
  • Assisting Dubai Customs in destroying counterfeit textiles for a luxury Italian car manufacturer.
  • Securing significant fines and destruction orders for counterfeit electronics in Sharjah.

We are committed to protecting our clients’ intellectual property through effective enforcement.

Our anti-counterfeiting team works to raise awareness of our clients’ brands among enforcement authorities across the region. We achieve this by conducting training sessions and seminars for customs and other administrative authorities, empowering them to combat trademark counterfeiting effectively. These efforts play a crucial role in increasing the number of proactive seizures reported by enforcement agencies.

 
 

Our anti-counterfeiting team safeguards our clients’ rights by registering their trademarks with customs and administrative authorities, including the DDED in Dubai and the ACFD in Saudi Arabia. This ensures our clients can promptly act against infringers as soon as any violations are identified or reported.

We also extend protection to the digital realm by monitoring online platforms, social media, and e-commerce sites in the region for potential infringements.

anti-counterfeiting team enforces our clients’ rights against third party infringers by gathering market intelligence, collecting evidence, carrying out raids with administrative authorities, and seeing to the destruction of counterfeit goods.

For the most egregious cases that warrant further escalation, we gather evidence and lodge criminal with the police and follow up with public prosecution to report the outcome of the cases to our clients. If the case is likely to result in a damages award, then we can also work with litigators to support our clients in civil litigation cases.
