Protection from Law Enforcement

It is advisable to apply to law enforcement agencies for the protection of intellectual property rights when revealing the facts of the sale of fakes or the facts of illegal introduction into the civil circulation of goods designated by your trademark without your knowledge.

The most common types of violations when you can contact the law enforcement agencies are:

·        Sale of unauthorized discs with music or computer programs. It should be noted that in connection with the development of IT-technologies, this type of offense is becoming less common;

·        Sale of goods purchased outside the State from an unauthorized seller in the Republic of Belarus;

·        Sale of fake alcohol and other fakes imitating the original product;

·        Hacker attacks, etc.

It should be noted that law enforcement agencies begin a trial or an investigation of such cases only based on a written statement from the copyright holder. In this regard, for the effective fight against violators you should identify the attackers and the goods they sell independently. This can be done independently or with the help of our lawyers.

If you find an illegal product, you should, if possible, ask for a copy of the check when purchasing it, as well as make a photo of this product on the counter and at the point of sale itself, to make it possible to identify the legal entity that carries out the illegal activity.

Beliaevs & Partners Law Group will undertake the communication with law enforcement officers and will do everything possible to achieve the maximum effect from suppressing illegal activities that undermine your credibility in front of your consumers, since fakes are always of much lower quality than the original. Your active fight against a fraud is the key to the prosperity of your business!
