Orient Commercial Enquiries is renown in the Pacific-Rim for investigations into intellectual property infringement. Experienced investigative staff are well-versed in the range of products subject to product counterfeiting. Discreet investigation and surveillance are employed to trace products back to their source of supply. Excellent links with law enforcement authorities allow for raids to be organized in a quick and effective manner. A unique warning program, involving professional verbal warnings made through actual visits to infringers by Orient Commercial Enquiries staff, has resulted in an effective deterrent for infringers that may not be worth being subjected to costly litigation.
Inquiries supervised by Orient Commercial Enquiries have resulted in more than 1,000 raids and legal actions throughout the Pacific-Rim. These raids have included the first ever raids into pirated software, remarked ICs, pirated video cassettes and illegal parallel-import pharmaceutical products in Taiwan, the first ever raids on pirated video cassettes in Thailand, the first ever raids on pirated software in the Philippines, and the first ever raids on remarked ICs in Malaysia.
Orient Commercial Enquiries can assist businesses through trademark use inquiries. Discreet inquiries can be carried out with those who have registered conflicting trademarks to determine use or non-use. These inquiries allow businesses to make informed decisions on whether to have a trademark struck off or to apply for its purchase.
Business may, at times, find it more expedient to purchase a trademark rather than file for cancellation of the mark or abandon use of a mark altogether. However, the price of purchasing a trademark can increase significantly if the trademark owner is aware that the buyer is of significant means. Orient Commercial Enquiries has assisted businesses by serving as an intermediary with trademark owners. Trained staff hide the identity of the ultimate buyer while appearing before the trademark owner as a buyer from an insignificant company. This service results in significant cost savings.
