Intellectual Property Matters

The worth of a company, especially in academic and scientific arenas, is based largely upon its intellectual property (IP). Today’s easy access to information, and the increase of corporate espionage from sources both internal and external, is an ever-increasing threat. Companies invest heavily in intellectual property that, if compromised, could jeopardize their economic future. At FIC we pride ourselves on using whatever legal means necessary to identify the people responsible and recover any lost intellectual property.

We work closely with legal counsel, assisting them in obtaining evidence to eliminate the threat, and ensuring the evidence is robust enough to withstand the judicial process. We have tailored our services to further assist our clients when dealing with these difficult and litigious situations, including:

Undercover Operations – establishing the scope and level of theft, fraud gathering evidence for prosecution.

Financial & Background Profiling – providing further due-diligence of suspected parties.

TSCM – Technical Surveillance Countermeasures – electronic bug sweeps and changing of locks, securing the present while planning for the future.

Security Services – using personal or state-of-the-art technology, implementing new safeguards.

Integrity Checks – providing risk assessment before and after an investigation, making sure the solution is working.
