- Trademark Investigations
BrandProCare offers end-to-end trademark investigations to help brand owners make informed decisions, enforce their rights and stay ahead of infringers and counterfeiters.
Trademark investigations are the core part of BrandProCare’s brand protection practice. Whether you are adopting a new mark, facing infringement, or combating counterfeit products, our team delivers precise, actionable intelligence that can be directly used for legal and enforcement action. We combine internet search with ground-level investigation findings to give you a complete risk picture around your trademark.
Our trademark in-use investigations are recommended before launching any new mark, brand name, service or product. We verify whether an identical or deceptively similar mark is already in use, assess its history, duration and manner of use, and identify the goods or services covered. This allows you and your legal team to evaluate likelihood of conflict, and potential objections before committing resources to branding and marketing.
Our trademark infringement investigations are designed for situations where your registered or unregistered trademark is being misused. We investigate confusingly similar words, names, logos, devices, or combinations thereof that may mislead consumers. We identify infringers, map their operations, gather documentary and photographic evidence, and help build a strong factual foundation for cease-and-desist action, civil suits, criminal complaints or customs intervention.
Our anti-counterfeit investigations focus on protecting established brands from imitation and replication. Counterfeit goods not only erode revenue but also damage consumer trust and brand reputation. BrandProCare traces the supply chain of counterfeit goods, conducts market surveys and test purchases, identifies manufacturing and distribution networks, and documents the scale and geography of the problem to support raids and enforcement proceedings.
For every trademark investigation, BrandProCare provides a comprehensive report which may include: current and past use or non-use of the mark; duration and geographical spread of use; online presence and digital footprints; reasons for adoption of the mark; goods and services covered; samples and photographs of products, packaging, signage and hoardings; business cards, brochures, price lists and other marketing material; details and background of the infringer; and trade channels and market intelligence. Our team conducts these investigations across diverse industries including pharmaceuticals, FMCG, electronics, automobiles, chemicals, hotels, fashion and apparel, cosmetics, education, real estate, industrial goods and many more.
You should opt for a trademark in-use investigation before adopting or filing a new mark, rebranding, entering a new territory or launching a new product line under an existing brand. It helps identify potential conflicts, hidden users and market realities beyond the trademark registry.
A traditional search typically reviews trademark office databases and sometimes online records. A trademark investigation goes further by checking on-ground use, gathering evidence, speaking to market sources, visiting premises and verifying how and since when a mark is actually being used in commerce.
