Westbound & Lakes runs its own investigative outfit in China. With a team of two dozen investigators and a network of hundreds of informants, we can investigate and uncover counterfeiting operations and intellectual property infringements all over China. Through the combined use of traditional investigative methods and modern technologies, we help trademark holders mapping infringement of their brands, uncover criminal syndicates. We sight, monitor, and infiltrate infringing operations to prepare the ensuing enforcement operations by the Chinese enforcement agencies. Eventually, we help keeping supply chains free from illicit contaminations. We also assist intellectual property owners in translating their online anti-counterfeiting programs into offline intelligence and sightings ready for enforcement.
