Protecting the success and survival of a corporation means safeguarding the intellectual property (IP). Justice Solutions Group can provide a comprehensive approach to protecting against IP theft, identifying patent infringement, and “gray market” diversions.
We help entities identify threats to their IP internally and throughout the supply chain. Once the threats are identified, we develop appropriate strategies to mitigate potential risks. We also conduct investigations into suspected thefts and infringements using sophisticated investigational techniques.
Copyrights, patents, trademarks, and design rights are among the most challenging assets to protect, though the value of IP routinely ranks higher than the other physical assets of a corporation. Given that the theft or compromise of these rights can do substantial economic harm and pose risks to brand integrity, it is crucial to protect your organization from IP theft.
As technology has continued to grow at an unprecedented pace, the threat to intellectual property has grown exponentially as well. To answer the threat, Justice Solutions Group can provide an objective assessment of your IP security procedures, as well as those of your partners and suppliers.
An assessment will identify vulnerabilities and help establish more robust safety practices. Performing due diligence investigations of suppliers ensure that IP security is maintained throughout the supply chain.
Our experience in complex investigations utilizing digital forensics, intelligence sources, and proprietary technology enable clients to respond to any suspected IP infringement.
Investigations include:
Investigative methods, developed through years of experience and training, include:
The American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) and the FBI has found that over 1/3 of companies have no formal process for protecting their intellectual property. ASIS calculates the economic losses at over $150 billion per year.
Protecting IP and information assets is a crucial business issue. Technology allows information to be shared worldwide in seconds, changing the accepted best practices needed to protect intellectual property.
Justice Solutions Group can perform an IP safety audit and help establish information security controls that utilize emerging technology to protect against IP theft. We can help formulate a robust system, including ways to preserve evidence properly if theft does occur.
Security efforts often focus on protection from hackers and other outside entities, but studies show that seventy-five percent of IP thefts occur from former employees, current employees, and contractors. Internal controls are necessary to prevent IP theft from inside the corporation.
Necessary steps to establish an IP theft-prevention system include:
Employee background checks are an essential tool in your arsenal to protect against IP theft. Employee and vendor background screenings can dramatically reduce the likelihood of IP theft by revealing a history of unethical or criminal behavior or fraud in a candidate’s past. Background checks for all employees are standard practice for due diligence, minimizes the risks to the workforce, and serves to protect physical and intellectual assets.
