Copyright Infringement

Copyright Infringement and theft costs commercial business £millions each year, whether this relates to the sale of pirated goods or copying software and materials owned by another person or company.

Leonards assist commercial clients, solicitors, broadcasters and artists in many brand protection and IP services aimed at countering theft and fraud. We gather intelligence which provides evidence of copyright theft or infringement and enables commercial clients to proceed with a civil litigation action or pursue a criminal prosecution.

We can offer clients the experience of nationwide undercover surveillance teams who can gather covert evidence of market trading copyright theft and the sale of pirated materials. We can provide test purchase surveillance reports to provide evidence of infringement.

We currently provide intelligence gathering services to a leading music licensing organisation by operating undercover to obtain evidence of businesses playing recorded music in public without licence.

We can liaise with enforcement agencies such as Police, Trading Standards Agencies and Criminal prosecutors by providing expert witness statements on how items infringe copyright laws. 

We can track and locate individuals and provide static surveillance on premises over a protracted period, build personal profiles of individuals’ activities and create financial profiles for analysis.
