Philosophy

Go the extra mile.

We don’t follow a rigid checklist; we treat every case as unique and creatively hunt down clues until every available resource has been exhausted, ensuring the obtained answer is correct beyond doubt.

Stay ahead of the curve.

Since we were incorporated in 2005, the advancements in the online sphere and ways in which counterfeiters have adapted to evade detection are astounding.

For continuous effective Brand Protection, it has been imperative for us to use the most up-to-date technologies and practices, from using the most cutting-edge OSINT techniques to creatively beating anti-surveillance methods adopted by counterfeiters.

Maintain trust.

The very nature of intelligence gathering is that no one knows the answer until the research has been completed, and even then, trust is required to accept the results to be true.

Since 2005, we have maintained our client’s trust through our exceptionally clear, concise, and transparent communication/reporting.

Our work can be relied upon time and time again to make informed decisions and for use as evidence in court.

Founders

Cerberus IP was founded by Duncan Mee and Cameron Gowlett, both from an IP background.

Duncan has worked in the IP industry since 1985.  He is the Operations Director and oversees the global headquarters and our online Brand Protection program, BITE. Cameron has been in the business of IP and Brand Protection since 1998.  He manages international operations in Turkey, Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe. Over the years, they have run projects that have uncovered factories and distribution networks in many difficult territories, showing clients who are behind counterfeit versions of their brands.

Duncan and Cameron have made a number of media appearances, including in the national press, radio interviews for the BBC and in the feature-length documentary Erasing David. They’ve also appeared in the hit TV series Secret Eaters and often assist behind-the-scenes in research for TV series such as Exposure ‘On the Run’ (ITV1), Trackers (BBC1) and as advisors to Hunted (Channel 4).
