What is IP Theft?

IP theft, or Intellectual Property Theft, is the act of stealing your intellectual property. Someone has taken confidential information from your company, and a competitor is benefiting from your hard work. This is not only frustrating and infuriating, but it can also jeopardize the existence of your company. That is why it is important to seek professional help as soon as possible.

How does IP Theft happen?

It happens much more often than you might think. One day you discover that a former employee has brought a cheaper copy of your product to the market. Or you notice that a competitor has gained access to your customer lists, blueprints, or databases. You see years of hard work go up in smoke. Fortunately, you don’t have to let this happen.

Take the wind out of the thief’s sails

Intellectual property theft is illegal. The first step is to prove the facts. Based on this, the court may decide that the thief must stop the harmful activities or that the products must be recalled or destroyed. The court may also decide that the unlawfully obtained data may not be disclosed. Perhaps compensation is also in order. Whether your demands are met in court depends on the quality of your legal dossier, and that is our specialty.

Why seek outside help?

Many companies make the mistake of asking their IT department to gather evidence. Unfortunately, IT staff are not trained for this. If it comes to a lawsuit, the other party may claim that your evidence is inadmissible because it was unlawfully obtained or because you violated the privacy of the person concerned. That is why you should rely on our expertise to collect evidence. We create a report that will be the most important weapon in the legal battle, fully in accordance with the law, respecting privacy regulations, and in collaboration with your lawyer. Don’t have a lawyer? We’ll put you in touch with an expert from our network.

How it works

We look at the channels through which someone can steal information from your organization: via USB sticks, external drives, the cloud, transfers, email, etc. Then we map out what has happened. We expose when which intellectual property was taken. Don’t worry: we don’t pry into what doesn’t concern us, but we search very specifically based on keywords. We process this data into a report that will play a key role in your case. Because with conclusive, irrefutable evidence, the thief has no defense.
