Intellectual property theft casework in Tennessee
Someone is selling your product, your design or your brand without you. Pinnacle's private eyes identify the seller, make the documented purchases and build the case.
Intellectual Property Theft handled by a licensed private detective agency
Nashville's music and merchandise economy, Tennessee's manufacturing base and the state's growing consumer brands all face intellectual property theft: counterfeit merchandise at markets and online, copied product designs, pirated content and unauthorized use of trademarks. Enforcement requires evidence: documented test purchases with chain of custody, identification of the sellers and their suppliers, tracing of online storefronts to real people and locations, and documentation of the scale of the operation.
Pinnacle's private eyes conduct test buys in person and online, trace sellers through payment, shipping and registration records, document physical locations and inventories lawfully, and deliver evidence packages for cease-and-desist letters, civil enforcement, platform takedowns and law enforcement referrals.
