Trade Secret Leaks · Trademark Counterfeiting · Copyright Infringement · OSINT Brand Monitoring
Relieved Xianyu provides cross-strait IP protection investigation with court-admissible evidence. Free first consultation, strictly confidential.
Intellectual property is one of a company's most critical assets — and one of the most vulnerable. Trade secrets walk out the door with departing employees, brand trademarks get counterfeited at scale, licensed partners quietly abuse your IP. These things happen every day, and are often discovered only after the damage has already multiplied.
R&D results, client lists, pricing strategies, production formulas — once these reach competitors, they can directly destroy your core competitive advantage. The most common vectors: departing employees, partner leaks, and system intrusions.
Counterfeits don't just erode your sales — they damage brand reputation when consumers receive poor-quality fakes and blame the brand. Particularly severe in the Mainland China market, where counterfeiting networks are complex and require specialized local investigation capability.
Software pirated, designs copied, patents reverse-engineered — copyright and patent infringement often happens where you can't see it. Active monitoring is required to detect and document it in time for legal action.
Licensees producing beyond agreed scope, agents misappropriating brand IP, suppliers sharing your technical data with third parties — IP infringement within trusted relationships is the hardest to detect and often the most damaging.
Using digital forensics, OSINT analysis, and behavioral observation to narrow down leak sources and build a complete evidence chain without alerting suspects. Particularly specialized in cases involving departing employees taking technical data.
Counterfeit product investigation across Taiwan, Mainland China, and Southeast Asian markets — tracing the complete supply chain from manufacturing origin to retail endpoints. Our Shanghai office provides direct field capability for undercover purchasing and factory location within China.
Systematically collecting and preserving infringement evidence for software piracy, design plagiarism, and content theft — including online notarization, physical purchase sampling, and infringement timeline documentation meeting court admissibility standards.
Continuous monitoring of your brand name, trademarks, and key identifiers across e-commerce platforms, social media, industry forums, and the dark web — detecting infringement activity before it scales. Available as periodic reports or real-time alerting.
Investigation into licensees', distributors', and suppliers' actual IP usage — confirming whether out-of-scope production, unauthorized sublicensing, or data leakage has occurred. All findings documented for contractual enforcement and liability claims.
Relieved Xianyu maintains long-term partnerships with IP law firms across both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, and multiple overseas markets. Upon completing investigation, we facilitate connections to appropriate legal resources for cross-border enforcement litigation.
Our client was a renowned Swiss luxury watch manufacturer. They discovered large quantities of near-perfect counterfeits on Mainland China e-commerce platforms and offline markets — not only eroding genuine product sales, but generating consumer complaints about quality issues that were being mistakenly attributed to authentic products, severely damaging brand reputation.
After engagement, Relieved Xianyu's Shanghai office led OSINT tracking and undercover purchase sampling investigations across Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. By tracing counterfeit product packaging batch numbers, logistics information, and e-commerce account linkages, the investigation successfully located two counterfeit manufacturing factories in Guangdong province — with factory on-site documentation, cargo movement timelines, and a complete counterfeit sample chain secured as evidence.
The client's attorneys used Relieved Xianyu's investigation report as the centerpiece of intellectual property infringement litigation at Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. Both factories were ordered to cease production and pay damages, with the client receiving specific civil compensation judgments.
The Key to Cross-Border IP Enforcement: Filing litigation only in Taiwan or Europe is insufficient when counterfeit manufacturing is occurring in Mainland China — enforcement must happen where the infringement is. Relieved Xianyu's legally operating Shanghai entity and local investigative capability is the critical link that makes cross-border brand enforcement possible.

Using e-commerce platforms, social media, industry forums, domain databases, and dark web as OSINT sources to build a complete infringement distribution map: who's selling, where, to whom, and for how long. This foundational step informs all subsequent field investigation actions.
Based on intelligence findings, field investigations in target jurisdictions (Taiwan, Mainland China, Southeast Asia): undercover purchase sampling for physical infringement evidence, logistics source tracing, manufacturing facility and warehouse location, and timestamped documentation throughout.
A litigation-ready investigation report is issued — including the complete infringement evidence chain, infringer identity information, timeline, and loss assessment. Delivered directly to your IP attorneys. Relieved Xianyu can also facilitate connections to appropriate cross-strait IP law firms for enforcement action.
