Intellectual Property Investigations

Molar Intelligence provides high-stakes intellectual property investigations for corporations, law firms, and innovators aiming to protect their competitive advantage. We go beyond simple database queries, combining deep-web forensics, technical audits, and global asset tracing to identify the source of unauthorised use. We do not take compliance declarations at face value; we verify them through independent technical and legal analysis. Unauthorised software distribution, trademark squatting, and systematic intellectual property theft are risks that standard corporate checks often overlook. What you receive is a documented evidence package, enabling you to defend your brand and technology in any jurisdiction.

How We Work

Case

iGaming Software Audit

Request

An iGaming company focused on Tier-1 markets, with a monthly GGR exceeding $8M and licenses from MGA, Curacao, and UKGC, required verification of a partner’s compliance. The objective was to ensure that the gambling partner was utilising only officially licensed software.

What We Did

We conducted a comprehensive software audit from the perspective of copyright and intellectual property investigations. This involved a technical review of the games provided by the partner to verify their origin and licensing status.

Key Findings

The investigation uncovered a material breach of the partnership agreement:

Identified multiple unlicensed casino slot games that directly violated the rights of the original copyright holder.
Confirmed a total absence of official permission or valid licensing keys for the software in use.

Outcome

The client terminated the partnership immediately due to the extreme legal and regulatory risks involved. The report provided a documented basis for a clean exit, protecting the client’s own Tier-1 licenses.

Case

Energy Sector IP Defence

Request

An Oil & Gas company operating in the MENA region and Central Asia, producing 4 million barrels annually with high EBITDA margins, is suspected of intellectual property theft by a competitor.

What We Did

Molfar performed an in-depth intellectual property audit covering the client's entire product line and global trademarks. We traced the competitor's activities across international markets and archived digital footprints.

Key Findings

The investigation revealed a systematic campaign of intellectual property infringement:

Found evidence of competitor-manufactured equipment being supplied to the market under misleading branding.
Discovered unauthorised trademark registrations in a foreign jurisdiction intended to block the client's market entry.
Detected the illegal use of the client’s brand on archived versions of the competitor’s website, proving a history of bad-faith operations.

Outcome

The client successfully used the gathered evidence in court to defend their reputation and secure their intellectual property rights. The documented findings turned suspicion into a winning legal strategy.

Methodology

Our team integrates multi-source intelligence gathering with premium investigative platforms to reconstruct a comprehensive profile, capturing critical insights that exist well beneath the surface of a public persona.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)

Systematic analysis of publicly available data is a core part of intellectual property investigations used to track the unauthorised digital presence of protected assets.

Corporate Registry Research

Mapping of ownership structures and affiliated entities to identify parties potentially involved in intellectual property theft or unauthorised sub-licensing.

Sanctions & Watchlist Screening

Checks against global watchlists to ensure that entities involved in intellectual property infringement or trade secret violations are flagged early in the process.

Court & Legal Database Analysis

Review of litigation history and enforcement actions, specifically looking for past cases of intellectual property theft investigations or patent disputes.

Proprietary Intelligence Platforms

Access to specialised databases and leaked datasets that empower our intellectual property investigations by revealing hidden transfers of proprietary technology.

Asset & Network Tracing

Following corporate trails to identify the ultimate beneficiaries of intellectual property infringement, surfacing shell structures that standard due diligence would miss.
