Josh Hopping introduces us to the world of open-source online investigations or OSINT. Though the information used to piece together a case may be publicly available, it still has to be found, deciphered and many times combined with on-the-ground investigations to bring a successful case against counterfeiters. Find out how the cases (stories) come together from a technology patent holder and published author in the brand protection space.
