IP House
IP House was founded by Steve Francis and Jan van Voorn – two experienced professionals dedicated to tackling the challenges of illicit trade and intellectual property protection. Both recognized that a more connected world would need a more connected, global approach to combating counterfeits, piracy, and other illicit activities. Leveraging decades of experience in law enforcement and IP protection, they envisioned a unified service offering both online and on-the-ground enforcement to address inefficiencies and fragmented vendor solutions.
Since then, IP House has been bringing together all elements needed for a successful enforcement-driven strategy, led by experts by service and by region. In May 2024, IP House was launched: a next-level, global investigative organization offering a comprehensive suite of client-focused products and services that combine monitoring, intelligence analysis, and at-scale, prioritized enforcement, online and on-ground. The global IP House solution reduces the complexity of multiple vendors and maximizes the power of data-driven insights and action to protect brands and their consumers.
