Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

Suspected unauthorized use of a business asset raises questions about who is involved, what is being displayed or distributed, and when the activity occurred.

A focused approach

Begin with the material or product at issue and the factual questions counsel wants explored. Public listings, advertisements, business affiliations, and appropriate field observations may provide leads.

Points to address

  • Identify the specific asset and suspected activity
  • Record source URLs, dates, and context
  • Distinguish an observed listing from a verified transaction

What the findings mean

Investigators document activity and sources. Counsel determines the relevant rights and legal implications; a similar name or image alone does not establish infringement.
