IP House

IP House is a global intellectual property protection and enforcement company that combines online and on-the-ground capabilities to detect, disrupt, escalate and act against IP infringement, including counterfeit goods and digital piracy. The firm was founded by industry veterans Steve Francis and Jan van Voorn, and its workforce of more than 700 investigators, analysts and IP law specialists operates across over 100 countries on five continents. The company cites a $2.5 trillion annual global economic drain from IP theft as the problem it addresses.

Its work is organised around six integrated services: Investigations, Test Purchases, Online Monitoring, Anti-Fraud Measures, Supply Chain Risk Management and Law Enforcement Support. The last of these involves working with government and law enforcement agencies worldwide to escalate and enforce against infringement, while supply chain risk management is directed at stopping counterfeits and infringements at their source.

Technical domains span online monitoring, data-driven intelligence, proprietary technology, fraud detection, supply chain risk management, investigations and enforcement technology, and brand protection analytics. The organisation serves global brands, content creators and digital media businesses, consumer goods and counterfeit-prone retail, e-commerce and online marketplaces, and consumer safety interests.
