Across our copyright cases, infringements evolve rapidly from physical reproductions to digital platforms and new AI‑enabled frontiers.

Proving copyright ownership and copying happened is only the starting point. Capabilities to investigate, enforce against and disrupt infringements effectively matter most.

Much appreciation to IAM for the inaugural Copyright 1000 rankings covering our practice:

🔍𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: AI‑enabled partner platform searches, digital intelligence and field surveillance to identify and locate infringers

🤖𝘾𝙤𝙥𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 & 𝘼𝙄: guiding businesses to navigate emerging copyright issues in AI technology development and use

🛡️𝙀𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩: criminal raids, seizing infringing materials and disrupting physical distribution networks with enforcement authorities

📄𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: Cease & Desist actions, out‑of‑court settlements and compensation recovery

⚖️𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: pre‑trial negotiations and court proceedings in copyright infringement disputes

Also thanks to our clients and international partners for their continued support. The recognition affirms robust copyright enforcement capabilities as digital and AI infringements grow in complexity.

#AntiCounterfeiting

⚠️Counterfeits don’t just hurt brands — they put supply chains and consumers at risk.

We conducted product anti‑counterfeiting training and “Walkabout” retail inspections with the Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) and our clients.

Complementing regular criminal enforcement and raid actions, we shifted towards early intervention.

Enforcement officers were trained to spot counterfeits. Meanwhile, retailers caught selling counterfeits were issued with official warnings regarding legal penalties as well as health and safety risks that counterfeits pose to consumers.

This proactive strategy and approach besides raids and seizures:
📢Raises advance awareness
🔍Puts infringing retailers on notice that brands actively monitor the market
🛡️Protects consumers before counterfeits are sold and cause harm

If your brand needs co-ordinated anti‑counterfeiting programs, get in touch and we’re happy to help.

Quick stop in Singapore for a whirlwind of cross‑border meetings.

Nearby Johor was abuzz with the recent state elections and impending Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System link. Will Johor and the Special Economic Zone reshape our connected regional economies and emerge as the “Shenzhen of South East Asia”? Only time will tell.

While forming part of that unfolding story, reach out to explore cross-border legal or intellectual property collaborations.
