At Dion International, all brand protection and intellectual property investigations are conducted in full accordance with UK and Scottish law, ensuring that every piece of intelligence we gather is lawful, ethical, and admissible in both civil and criminal proceedings.
Our operations comply with the Trade Marks Act 1994, Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and Data Protection Act 2018, which collectively safeguard intellectual property rights and ensure lawful processing of all information.
We also operate within the frameworks of the Fraud Act 2006 and Bribery Act 2010, ensuring that every investigation we undertake maintains the highest standards of transparency, integrity, and accountability.
All reports are carefully prepared for legal, corporate, or enforcement use, providing reliable, factual evidence that supports decisive action and protects our clients’ brands.
Intellectual property and copyright infringement investigations are essential for any individual or organisation seeking to protect their IP rights. Businesses with valuable trademarks, patents, and copyrights need to ensure that their intellectual property remains safeguarded from competitors or counterfeiters. Artists, writers, musicians, and software developers may need these services to protect their creative works from piracy and unauthorised use.
Legal professionals, such as IP attorneys, rely on our investigative services to gather the evidence needed for litigation or enforcement. If you suspect that your intellectual property is being infringed upon, our expert team can help identify the source and provide the support you need to resolve the issue effectively.
While our headquarters and primary operations are based in Scotland, Dion International supports clients across the United Kingdom and internationally, delivering professional, discreet, and lawful brand protection solutions wherever required.

If you are experiencing counterfeiting, digital piracy, or the unauthorised use of your creative works or inventions, our team can help you take the necessary steps to protect your IP. Whether you need to prevent future violations, pursue legal action, or ensure that your intellectual property remains secure, we provide the expertise and resources you need to defend your assets.
At Dion International, we are committed to offering expert services to protect your intellectual property and address copyright infringements. Our team ensures that all brand protection investigations are conducted professionally, ethically, and in compliance with legal standards, helping you protect what matters most.
The duration of a brand protection investigation depends on the size of the operation and the nature of the infringement. Some cases, such as counterfeit detections or unauthorised online listings can be resolved within days, while large scale supply chain or cross border cases may require ongoing monitoring and coordination with multiple agencies.
We assess every request individually and only accept cases where our involvement will provide a measurable outcome. This ensures that all investigations are purposeful, strategic, and handled with the professionalism and discretion Dion International is known for.
We have a proven track record of delivering results for individuals, businesses, and high-profile clients across the UK. Our reputation is built on reliability, transparency, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
We combine real-world experience with a client-focused approach. Our team includes former British government agency personnel who bring both expertise and discretion to every task. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution — everything is tailored to your current situation.
While some providers offer “budget” surveillance, relying on a single surveillance officer is no longer truly considered covert — and any provider promoting this approach should be treated with caution. It reflects a lack of understanding of professional surveillance operations and can be misleading to clients.
Using only one operative greatly limits the effectiveness of an assignment and significantly increases the risk of compromise. A lone operator cannot reliably maintain visual contact, monitor multiple exits, or reposition without drawing attention.
We typically deploy a team to ensure effective, discreet, lawful and uninterrupted coverage. Investing in a properly resourced operation from the outset often prevents costly mistakes — saving you time, money, and unnecessary frustration in the long run.
