The Artus Group has significant experience investigating the manufacture and sale of counterfeit products and goods. Products under investigation have previously included software, computer hardware, prescription drugs, motor vehicle parts, collector’s items, R & D materials and other proprietary products and manufactured items.

Conventional Sales
When counterfeit goods are offered through conventional methods, Artus Group investigators have the skills and experience to investigate and identify the source and make undercover purchases of products.

Undercover contact is sustained as necessary and we coordinate with local and Federal law enforcement to further the investigation as required. It may also be prudent to conduct a long term Undercover Operation at the point of manufacture or within the supply chain to identify the source.

Internet Sales
When counterfeit products are offered through the Internet, we have unique experience and understanding of internet procedures, language, auction sites, user groups and market portals to allow us to effectively investigate the source of counterfeit goods.

Artus Group investigators have developed the ability to effectively conduct undercover communication with sellers on the internet sand to ultimately make counterfeit product purchases with the backstops necessary to ensure anonymity for our clients.

Product purchases are followed by in-depth internet and conventional investigative methodology to confirm the source. For more details, please link to Internet Investigations.

When counterfeit product purchases are made, we adhere to strict chain of evidence procedures to ensure your case can be prosecuted cleanly and without complication if the case goes to court. We have the experience and the skills to identify the source.
