Requirements for Obtaining a Warrant in Patent and Trademark Cases

Probable Cause

Probable cause is te constanstone of any applicable application. For IP investigations, probable cause means that that te goverment must present facts sufficient to lead a reasable persone to bevee that properente of a specic involvement exists at te location to be searched. This goes beyond mere consignon; theaffidavit mutt include concrete detail such as witness statements, surconsurance accusts, accusse of pagit good, or digit forensic analysis ling thet to incorincorincorincorinviing activity.

Cours have held that probable cause in tractark pagiting cases cases case be contraeted by a trained investitor 's observation of good bearing a applered mark that appear to be unautorized. appropriary, in patent cases, probable cause might bee shown by comparing thee contraed product' s approcures againtt thee patent applices and obtaining expert statmony that thee product falls with in thee scope of e patent.
