Our dedicated team of market researchers meticulously scans and analyses markets across all levels of the supply chain in every industry we operate in. Our aim is to provide clients with the best possible insights into each individual market, serving as their trusted eyes on ground. We understand that counterfeiters operate with vigilance, but our specialised techniques ensure research data is always reported accurately, with strategical & expert recommendations.
Our expert legal team strategically vets and drafts cease and desist notices to subjects as necessary, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Our cease and desist (C&D) program is uniquely available across all GCC Countries, Egypt, and Jordan. With an average success rate of 94% in compliance, our highest success rate reaches a remarkable 99% in the UAE.
We offer enforcement services across all levels of the supply chain (retail to manufacturer) involved in the sale of infringing goods. Our lobbying efforts have fostered an excellent relationship between AAA and authorities across all GCC countries, ensuring a seamless process for enforcing cases. Enforcements are often the quickest method involving law enforcement agencies to prevent counterfeit products from entering the market.
We are trusted service providers in recording trademarks with customs. Recording trademarks with customs in each country where possible enables authorities to notify us of all shipments passing through. This data assists in intercepting & destroying goods at the initial level of infiltration into the market. Customs data has proven valuable for establishing further intelligence, especially in the UAE.
Our efforts go beyond mere enforcement actions, seizures, and destructions. AAAA consistently collaborates with authorities to obtain intelligence gathered from raids. We recognize the value of this information, often aiding brands in pursuing cross-regional leads.
In a region where rewarding damages is uncommon and recidivism persists, our litigation efforts focus on seeking deterrent sentencing for perpetrators, aiming to influence penalties, including imprisonment. We assist in filing civil cases, aiming for deterrent sentencing and settlement when defendants approach first, prioritizing our clients interests. While not every case is litigated civilly, AAA has been successful in influencing penalties through civil cases and settling good cases.
We engage in lobbying with government entities involved in IP enforcement, recommending best practices. Our dedicated research team ensures that stakeholder concerns are always prioritized. Through quarterly visits to all government entities, we provide this lobbying service exclusively for clients, and it' s complimentary when we work for you.
