Anti-Counterfeiting Litigation and Enforcement
- Filing Criminal Complaints: We prepare and file criminal complaints with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, particularly in cases of large-scale counterfeiting and digital piracy.
- Coordination with Law Enforcement: We collaborate with Lebanese law enforcement agencies, including the Internal Security Forces (ISF) and the Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Unit, to conduct raids, seize counterfeit goods, and prosecute infringers.
- Customs Seizures and Border Protection: We initiate actions for the seizure and destruction of counterfeit and infringing goods at Lebanon's borders, providing comprehensive border protection for your IP rights.
