Since 1977, UNITEL has acted as principal outside investigator to America's oldest and largest intellectual property law firm.  UNITEL is widely recognized as one of the leading IP investigative firms in the U.S.  UNITEL provides confidential investigative services to many of the largest multi-national corporations, pharmaceutical companies, hi tech companies and IP law firms throughout the United States and England. 

Our membership includes:

• American Bar Association, Patent, Trademark, Copyright Section
• Intellectual Property Owners Association
• U.S. Trademark Association
• Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) 

UNITEL works closely with the client to achieve the highest degree of protection for their IP properties and trade secrets. Our staff of experienced investigators have been successful in providing evidence of infringement, effecting private seizures and obtaining recovery of damages in cases of theft, piracy and illicit expropriation of IPR assets by disgruntled employees or competitors.  We provide assistance and due diligence in the areas of licensing and technology transfers. 

From  ITC section 337 investigations, to marshaling evidence for in court infringement actions, to private seizure cases in U.S. courts, to Anton Pillar orders in English commonwealth countries, to due diligence studies on prospective licensing partners, UNITEL is  accustomed to working closely with counsel to protect a client's intellectual property. 

UNITEL is truly worldwide. We have long term affiliates in Latin America and Europe. Our network extends to Eastern Europe, the C.I.S. (Russia) and the Far East. Our experience shows that the most egregious IP violations come out of the back street shops of Southeast Asia and China, and accordingly, we have developed strong information sources in these areas.  Russia presents unique challenges to American and international companies desiring to do business there and professional assistance is called in for this region. Our affiliates in Russia are all former Russian government senior level police and intelligence officers.
