Satyapon is a pioneer in anti-counterfeiting and brand enforcement in Thailand. In 2019, the firm recorded the largest patent infringement seizure in the history of Thailand against a major local manufacturer, and has seen major dividends from their Customs Officers training seminars in the form of a big increase in Custom seizures for their clients.
