Counterfeit Goods:
You sell a popular brand of apparel. One of your key retail accounts in New York City is approached by a broker, who is selling a particular item of yours in large quantities. Posing as a buyer, Vaudra Ltd. gets involved and contacts the broker by email and phone, leading to a controlled purchase of counterfeit goods. The local authorities are alerted to the situation and the broker is later arrested and charged with a felony.

Trademark:
Your company wants to register a trademark for a new product that will be manufactured in the near future. You learn of another trademark in use by a different company or individual that is the same as or similar to your proposed trademark. Vaudra Ltd. locates the possible owner and determines a variation of the mark has been in use since 1995. However, the mark variation is being used on something completely different than your intended usage. Vaudra Ltd. obtains samples of the trademark usage on that particular item. Now, you have the information necessary to make an informed decision.

Infringement (Knockoff):
You discover a supplier of a product that looks very similar to yours. The supplier is located in Denmark. Without traveling overseas, Vaudra Ltd. begins an investigation and determines the stock levels of the questionable product on Danish soil, and identifies the supplier in China. A settlement is reached with the infringer without filing a costly lawsuit. The products are voluntarily turned over for destruction and the infringer agrees not to infringe again, or pay future damages.

Parallel Import (Gray Market, Diversion):
An automobile manufacturer believes they have a multi-national issue involving the diversion, or illegal exportation, of auto parts. Using investigative techniques, the diverter is identified and a relationship is established, leading to the purchase of a container of auto parts that identifies and uncovers the network.

Domain Recovery:
You work for an internationally-known company and want to acquire an Internet domain for the launching of a new product. However, if you disclose your company name in the negotiations with the current domain owner, the domain could easily cost your company close to $1,000,000. A relationship is established with the owner and he sells the domain name to a third party, Vaudra Ltd., for less than $10,000. The domain is then transferred to your company with a significant cost savings.

Internet Monitoring:
Vaudra Ltd. finds your brand being counterfeited and repeatedly sold on a website hosted in a foreign country. The auctions are removed and the sales are stopped. Vaudra Ltd. discovers that most of the goods are being supplied from another country. An additional program is developed, focusing on uncovering the sources of these products. As a result, over 35,000 counterfeit units are seized in a three month period.

Due Diligence:
You suspect one of your employees of assisting in the establishment, and acting as an active partner in, another corporation similar to your own. The employee denies the accusations and continues to be employed by your company. In addition to obtaining direct evidence, Vaudra Ltd. establishes a relationship with the accused, who unwittingly admits to being an active partner in the corporation.
