Surveillance for Intellectual Property Theft Investigations

In today’s knowledge-driven economy, intellectual property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets a business owns. From proprietary software and product designs to trade secrets and client data, your competitive edge relies on keeping your information secure.

Unfortunately, intellectual property theft is on the rise, often committed by insiders—disgruntled employees, former partners, or unethical competitors. At New York Investigations, we offer professional surveillance solutions designed to detect, document, and stop IP theft before it damages your business.

What Is Intellectual Property Theft?

Intellectual property theft involves the unauthorized use, sharing, or sale of proprietary business information, including:

  • Trade secrets and formulas

  • Confidential client databases

  • Proprietary software or code

  • Marketing plans and strategies

  • Product designs or inventions

  • Patented or copyrighted content

It’s not just a legal violation—it’s an attack on your innovation, your reputation, and your profitability.

How Surveillance Protects Your IP

While digital forensics and legal tools are important, physical and behavioral surveillance remains a powerful method of uncovering how, when, and by whom IP is being misused or leaked.

Our surveillance services can:

  • Monitor employees suspected of sharing sensitive data

  • Track interactions with competitors or unauthorized parties

  • Document unauthorized use of devices or company assets

  • Provide supporting evidence for civil or criminal legal action

  • Help prevent future breaches through proactive monitoring
