Investigations

The Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick Group’s in-house IP research company, IP Organisers, is a registered investigation agency in Victoria, with the ability to use a network of trusted associates in other states.

Our investigators gather evidence on violations/use of intellectual property (IP) rights using methods that include:

• trap purchasing
• the review of media coverage
• photographing evidence of infringement
• interviewing persons of interest
• preparing witness statements.

Evidence is supported by documentation and sworn declarations, which can be used in court. We also conduct background checks on companies, businesses (including business names) and individuals. We can identify participants in defined commercial sectors or technology markets.

Our senior investigator is also a registered trade marks attorney, making us uniquely placed to meet your IP investigation needs.
