The investigator Part 1: Guide To Intellectual Property Investigations

Because of global trade and interaction between countries, the products of intellectual property right holders, have become the prey for counterfeiters. In a bid to control global trade and intellectual property (IP), various international agreements have seen the light over the years. Ineffective regulatory and enforcement measures against counterfeiting and piracy could have detrimental effect for IPR Holders and/or loss of revenue for countries across the globe. IPR Holders in the event of infringement of their intellectual property rights, rely on investigators and/or legal practitioners to investigate and protect them from piracy criminals.

This book, through case scenarios, seeks to pay particular attention to the basic legal principles which could be considered as essential to the investigation process when dealing with intellectual property infringement cases in South Africa, inter alia the following:

• Investigation/Prosecution and Litigation.
• Basic constitutional and administrative principles applicable to all Investigations.
• Common Law and International Law Perspective of Intellectual Property Rights.
• The investigation and Enforcement of intellectual property right infringements.
