Molfar Intelligence conducts brand protection and anti-counterfeit investigations in Ukraine. The work helps rights holders identify fraud, piracy, counterfeit products and unauthorised use that may affect revenue, product integrity or reputation.

Depending on the case, an investigation may include:

  • identifying suspected manufacturers, distributors and sellers;
  • examining the background and corporate links of relevant parties;
  • conducting documented wholesale, retail or online test purchases;
  • mapping physical and digital distribution channels;
  • analysing marketplaces, domains, websites and seller accounts;
  • carrying out lawful field verification where authorised;
  • coordinating findings with legal counsel, platforms, customs or law enforcement;
  • assessing the scale and structure of the counterfeit market.

A brand protection investigation begins with the protected asset, suspected infringement and markets involved. Analysts then connect marketplace listings, company records, domains, archived pages, public profiles and other digital traces. The objective is to establish what is being sold, who may be behind it and whether separate sellers form part of the same supply network.

Where test purchases or fieldwork are required, Molfar documents the source, date, seller and transaction trail. These materials can help legal teams prepare platform complaints, cease-and-desist letters, customs notifications or requests for enforcement action.

Molfar Intelligence works with brands, manufacturers, software companies and legal teams to document intellectual property infringement. We separate confirmed evidence from indicators and unresolved questions, so the client can understand both the scale of the issue and the available next steps.

Molfar does not replace legal counsel, customs or law enforcement. Our role is to identify relevant parties, map their connections and structure the evidence for review by the organisations authorised to act.

If counterfeiting, piracy or unauthorised brand use is affecting your business, send us the protected asset, target market and known sales channels. We will define the relevant intellectual property investigation.
