An effective anti-counterfeiting strategy involves a comprehensive approach safeguarding IP assets from copying, imitation, or unauthorized use. This integrated approach includes active surveillance and continuous monitoring of trademarks, patents, models, and other IP rights, enabling the early detection of potential infringements.
At Álvaro Duarte & Associados, we develop preventive strategies by conducting systematic market analysis and monitoring to identify patterns or signs of counterfeiting. In parallel, we implement enforcement strategies that support swift intervention and dispute resolution, ensuring that any unauthorized use is effectively challenged.
Our work also includes risk assessment and the implementation of tailored protective measures, helping to preserve the integrity of IP assets and strengthen the competitive position of their holders.
