Service Overview
Counterfeiting is a global industry valued at more than USD 460 billion, with MENA and South Asia positioned at the center of complex international supply chains. Rapidly expanding consumer markets, major logistics hubs, free-zone ecosystems, and high-volume online marketplaces have created an environment where illicit goods can move quickly across borders and sectors.
Counterfeit products erode brand equity, divert legitimate revenue, and pose serious risks to consumer safety. Today’s infringing networks operate through coordinated manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and online sales channels, requiring decisive, intelligence-driven enforcement rather than reactive legal action.
UTMPS delivers operational brand protection built on investigation, enforcement coordination, and legal execution across more than 20 jurisdictions. We work alongside enforcement authorities to identify infringers, disrupt supply chains, and remove counterfeit goods from the market through sustained action.
How We Help
Across MENA and South Asia, our teams work directly with customs authorities, police, economic departments, IP offices, and regulatory bodies to provide rights holders with a single, coordinated enforcement platform.
We combine on-the-ground investigations with digital monitoring and legal strategy to transform intelligence into enforceable action, from initial detection through seizure, prosecution, and post-raid follow-up.
Whether addressing retail distribution, warehouse operations, manufacturing activity, or online infringement, we deliver structured, measurable enforcement outcomes.
Our Capabilities
We support rights holders through:
- Investigation of counterfeit production sites, distribution networks, and retail channels
- Online monitoring and identification of infringing marketplace and social media activity
- Test purchases, market sweeps, and undercover evidence gathering
- Preparation of authority-ready evidence files, authentication reports, and expert declarations
- Customs and regulatory recordals enabling proactive border enforcement
- Coordination and execution of raids, inspections, and seizures with enforcement authorities
- Initiation and management of administrative, civil, and criminal proceedings
- Online takedowns, platform enforcement, and domain dispute actions
- Training programs for customs and enforcement officials on product authentication
- Multi-country enforcement programs supported by centralized reporting and strategy
How We Work
Intelligence-Led Enforcement
We integrate field investigations, digital monitoring, test purchases, and local intelligence networks to identify the full scope of infringing activity, targeting supply chains rather than isolated sellers.
Operational Coordination with Authorities
Our established relationships with customs, police, IP offices, and regulatory agencies enable rapid action supported by properly prepared evidence and enforcement planning.
Sector-Specific Expertise
Our experience spans luxury goods, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, automotive, technology hardware, industrial equipment, semiconductors, apparel, and consumer products; each requiring tailored authentication and enforcement strategies.
End-to-End Case Management
From intelligence gathering to raids, seizures, legal proceedings, and destruction supervision, we manage enforcement matters through their full lifecycle to ensure lasting market impact.
Multi-Jurisdictional Execution
Centralized strategy combined with in-country execution across 20 jurisdictions ensures consistent evidence standards, coordinated timelines, and unified reporting for global brand owners.
