CivilProcedure
Civil lawsuits are the flower of the infringement response.
Civil litigations are a powerful tool for brands to enforce their intellectual property rights and obtain injunctive relief and damages against online and offline infringers. While many brands face challenges in using civil litigations to combat infringement, especially in cases of overseas infringement, civil litigations are an essential tool for brands to effectively respond to infringement using their intellectual property rights.
IP Space handles hundreds of civil litigations related to counterfeit and imitation goods each year, with a win rate of over 90%. Through this, various brands have experienced effective infringement response.
IP Space's Zero-Cost Civil lallaLitigation
The high cost of litigation is the biggest obstacle preventing brands from actively using civil litiigation.

Off-lineInvestigation
IP Space has the best field investigation team in place.
Offline investigation refers to the task of identifying and analyzing the infringement situation of factories, warehouses, and markets related to the production, storage, and distribution of infringing products.
Accurate offshoot investigations are a very important process of determining future enforcement strategies. Finding infringers who secretly produce and distribute counterfeits in China is more like finding a needle in the sea. This is because major infringement sites differ by industry, and the manufacturing environment developed by region is also different. Investigation techniques and strategies according to the subject of investigation, such as wholesale markets, warehouses, factories, and offices, should also be classified. IP Space is more accurately and quickly monitoring and finding the subject of infringement of brand owner’ rights through a team of investigators who have conducted infringement investigations for many years.

Off-lineEnforcement
Offline enforcement are the most powerful means against infringers
Offline enforcement refers to work mainly conducted through the Market Management Supervision Bureau (administrative agency) and public security (criminal agency) targeting infringing product warehouses, factories, and wholesale markets.
The reason for offline enforcement is important is that it takes fundamental measures before infringing products being distributed to the market. Once distributed in the market, it has a substantial impact on the brand’s sales, so the fundamental response through offline enforcement is the most important. IP Space provides successful offline response work through processes and know-how established through many years of business collaboration with enforcement agencies in major regions of China mainland.

CustomsEnforcement
The Chinese counterfeit problem is not just a domestic problem, but rather international.
Customs enforcement is the process of seizing IP infringing products produced in China from the route of export to Korea and other third countries. Due to the development of online shopping, counterfeits from China are spreading all over the world. Some manufacturers even produce counterfeits in China for distribution only to third countries. Therefore, monitoring and responding to the import and export products of Chinese customs (including Hong Kong) is essential for brand owners promoting brand globalization. IP Space has established Customs and business networks in major areas of the Greater China area to monitor and respond to the export of counterfeit products made in China to third countries.

Online Enforcement
The biggest enemy of the brand's online salesand response to online infringement distribution
Online enforcement refers to the work of distributing IP infringing products through online shopping platforms, reporting and blocking acts that infringe on the IP rights of brand owners in the process of selling products even though they do not distribute the products. The development of online shopping gives brand owners an opportunity to expand the sales market, and at the same time, it is becoming a double-edged sword for the distribution of counterfeit products. Chinese counterfeits are being exposed to consumers through platforms around the world through online channels. IP Space is thoroughly protecting the online sales of brand owners by responding to infringement based on offline enforcement and by online enforcement on major online platforms.
Infringing products from China are distributed all over the world through online channels.
IP Space is responding to IP infringement on online shopping platforms in major regions around the world, including Southeast Asia, Europe, and North and South America, as well as Chinese platforms. Beyond simple online enforcement on overseas platforms, it is realizing the true purpose of online and offline protection by conducting offline research and analysis of sellers’ production plants and warehouses.

DomainArbitration
Domain preoccupation and fake site response are important online intellectual property protection tasks.
Domain arbitration refers to the process of reclaiming the relevant domain preempted by the infringer through an arbitration agency. Unlike trademark registration, domain registration can be registered and used by anyone relatively easily. By exploiting this, infringers steal the brand, trade name, and popular product name of the brand owner, register a domain, and generate illegal profits through infringement related to the brand company through the domain. An effective and rapid way to do this is to respond through domain arbitration. IP Space is solving the domain infringement issue that brand owners are experiencing through know-how in responding to domain arbitration cases in various industries.
