Be Careful
We all know cases of trademarks, both new and already established on the market, that have had their products pirated in a way that compromised their success and commercial value.
This not only results in a loss of clients but may also strongly affect the profitability of a business.
These and similar cases should serve as an example of the need to protect your products against any counterfeiting attempt.
Prevention
Sometimes, the registration alone of your Intellectual Property may not be enough to ensure the maximum protection of your trademark, patent, or design. Staying one step ahead of counterfeiting will ensure the full protection of your Intellectual Property and help prevent piracy from strongly affecting the success of your business.
For this reason, there are various preventive methods such as pre-registration of your products in customs, regular visits to places where counterfeited products may be sold, defensive trademark registration, among others.

With your help, we will be able to have a clear picture of the goods that you wish to protect against counterfeiting.
Inventa will locally investigate the origin of the goods, where are they usually stored and if they are being sold.
Based on our findings, we will investigate the number of counterfeit goods and the extent of the damage caused.
We will provide you with the best strategies in order to pre-empt litigation.
We can contact local enforcement authorities in order to stop the infringers from counterfeiting your goods and apprehend them.
Your questions
Our answers
What is counterfeiting?
Counterfeiting is a term usually used to describe the production and illegal sale of products protected by the intellectual property law, by using an identical or similar product to one already registered. Basically, it is a crime that, in addition to being illegal, may result in a serious decrease in commercial value or a loss of profits to trademarks, patents, or designs already registered, greatly compromising their success in the market.
How can I protect myself against counterfeiting?
The first step to combat the counterfeiting of your products is to register your industrial property. Inventa recommends, particularly in countries where counterfeiting is more common, that product owners consider registering their rights in local customs, according to the current legislation. This will ensure regular inspections of containers and shipping ports, preventing the circulation of any potentially counterfeit products.
In addition to anti-counterfeiting measures to a trademark, it is obviously essential to ensure other aspects that may help in defining intellectual property and educating the public about the dangers of "commercial piracy". An effective marketing and packaging strategy is usually a good starting point to help protect your mark and your products.
