Surelock are one of the most pro-active and successful Brand Protection Companies in the UK, dealing with intellectual property right investigations on behalf of the clients we represent, both online and in the marketplace, we have been engaged in this specialist work for over 22 years.
Active members of the Association of British Investigators https://www.theabi.org.uk , the Anti-counterfeiting Group http://www.a-cg.org and sponsors of the National Markets Group http://www.realdealmarkets.co.uk we work hard, and together with our colleagues especially at this time of year when counterfeits are rife.
With a team of professional qualified investigators, experienced surveillance and undercover operatives we have achieved significant successes for our clients over this past year: –
- The largest seizure ever in UK of high-end watches and designer goods,
- One of the largest seizures of famous named perfumes,
- The largest online seller of high-end watches,
- Historically the largest POCA award for IP crime.
Our clients include most of the world’s music artists and the merchandising companies who represent them, world renowned luxury brands, watches, jewelry, perfume and cosmetic companies, sportswear brands, iconic characters and the major US Sports teams, well known brands, and the manufacturers of the world’s most popular cigarette lighters, all of whom have trusted us to look after their brand protection for many years.
Our aim has always been to utilise a specialist surveillance team to covertly gather evidence of counterfeits being sold in the marketplace, the High Street, wholesalers, and manufacturers making test purchases and then identifying where the stock is being stored. Our enforcement team of trained investigators then carry out raids with the respective authorities, seizing all offending merchandise, authenticating these and supply evidence for prosecutions.
We have a dedicated online team who deal with infringements on the internet worldwide either by having the sites taken down or carrying out test purchases, identifying where they are operating from for enforcement or other legal action.
We also work alongside UKBF identifying counterfeits goods coming into the UK usually from China, Turkey and more, making detentions and having these goods destroyed after they have been authenticated as fake.
