In this article: A trademark investigation determines whether a mark is actually in use, by whom, and how. Ohio Security & Investigations conducts trademark use and counterfeit investigations for attorneys and brand owners.
Trademark disputes often turn on a simple question: is the other company really using the mark, and how? Brand owners and intellectual property attorneys rely on private investigators to answer that question with documented facts before they file, negotiate, or challenge a registration.
Use Investigations
A trademark use investigation determines whether a mark is currently used in commerce, when use began, what products or services it covers, and where it is sold. These facts help attorneys evaluate clearance, abandonment, and priority questions.
Counterfeit and Infringement Investigations
When counterfeit or infringing goods appear in the market, we identify sellers, document products and sales through lawful purchases, and trace supply sources when possible. Evidence is collected and preserved carefully so it can support cease and desist letters or litigation.
Discreet Business Inquiries
Our investigators use discreet, lawful inquiries and research to learn how a business operates without revealing the client’s identity. Findings are reported in a clear format designed for attorneys and in house counsel.

Every case at Ohio Security & Investigations begins with a confidential conversation.
