Service overview

What this service is designed to establish

Supports enquiries into counterfeiting, leakage, unauthorised distribution, misuse of confidential material or infringement indicators.

The first task is to convert a broad concern into specific questions that can be investigated responsibly. The method, duration and deliverables then follow from those questions—not from assumptions about what the answer should be.

Questions the engagement may address

01

What IP right or confidential material is affected?

02

Where is the suspected activity occurring?

03

Which evidence links activity to persons or entities?

04

What preservation or test-purchase steps are lawful?

Scope framework

What may be included—and what is excluded.

Final scope depends on authority, law, available information, geography, urgency and intended use.

May include

  • Market and online research
  • Source and distribution mapping
  • Test purchase support where lawful
  • Entity and location verification
  • Evidence documentation

Not included

  • Legal determination of infringement
  • Unauthorised system access
  • Industrial espionage
  • Guaranteed shutdown or recovery

Methodology

A disciplined six-stage workflow.

The exact investigative methods differ by case, but control, documentation and responsible analysis remain constant.

  1. 1

    Initial assessment

    Clarify the decision, known facts, urgency, authority and suitability of the enquiry.

  2. 2

    Scope and protocol

    Define questions, boundaries, information access, communication and deliverables.

  3. 3

    Evidence development

    Conduct authorised documentary, field, interview, digital or analytical work as appropriate.

  4. 4

    Corroboration

    Compare sources, test contradictions and distinguish reliable facts from indicators.

  5. 5

    Analysis and reporting

    Explain findings, confidence, gaps, limitations and relevant context.

  6. 6

    Client briefing

    Present the report securely and discuss practical next steps without guaranteeing outcomes.

Potential deliverables

Clear outputs for an authorised decision-maker.

The engagement letter should specify what will be delivered and through which secure channel.

01

Investigation scope and work plan

02

Evidence or source schedule

03

Issue-by-issue findings report

04

Executive or legal-team briefing

Evidence and limitations

A report should distinguish verified facts, credible indicators, inconsistent information, unresolved questions and methodological limitations. It should not transform uncertainty into certainty merely to satisfy expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Important questions before engagement.

Confidential consultation

Start with the decision, not the service label.

C3I can assess whether intellectual property investigation is suitable, what scope may be proportionate and what limitations should be understood.
