We’ve been running Trademark Use Investigations across the globe for decades, and now we’re producing hundreds every month.
We run the investigations on a global scale with both precision and speed, thanks to our team of researchers, linguists (30+ languages), field investigators, data analysts, IP specialists and OSINT experts.
If you’re filing for non-use cancellation, involved in trademark opposition proceedings, or assessing the risk of your new product/ business name, a Trademark Use Investigation will give you the insight and evidence needed to make clear decisions and act with confidence.
