Committed to Justice in Academic Integrity

At WIPO Legal Global, we pursue strict legal enforcement against individuals and entities involved in academic fraud, diploma mills, and identity-based cheating schemes. In partnership with the World Intellectual Property Organization and EU Intelligence Authorities, we operate under a framework that integrates civil litigation, criminal prosecution, and transnational cooperation.

We act under legal provisions such as the Fraud Act 2006, the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, and Theft Act 1968, targeting misconduct including:

  • Ghostwriting and identity substitution in exams
  • Degree fabrication and falsified credentials
  • Unauthorized use of intellectual property in academic content.

Working alongside the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and judicial bodies like the First-tier Tribunal, we pursue:

  • Injunctions
  • Asset freezes
  • Seizures of unlawfully obtained earnings
  • Court-ordered penalties of up to 10 years in prison

Our approach ensures each case is thoroughly investigated before legal action is taken, with a clear focus on fairness, due process, and deterrence.

International Legal Reach to Combat Cross-Border Academic Fraud

At WIPO Legal Global, we understand that academic fraud is no longer confined to borders. With operations spanning the EU and beyond, our organization leverages international legal frameworks to trace, expose, and prosecute offenders operating across jurisdictions. We work in strategic partnership with EU Intelligence Agencies, Interpol, and national authorities to ensure that no scam network escapes legal scrutiny, regardless of where they operate.

Our legal interventions extend to:

  • Interpol Red Notices for extradition of high-value offenders
  • Global asset tracing and freezing to recover unlawful gains
  • Joint Europol task forces targeting diploma mills and coordinated fraud rings
  • Identity tracing and platform disclosure through Norwich Pharmacal Orders
  • Legal action against fraudulent entities exploiting jurisdictional loopholes or diplomatic immunity

This international reach empowers us to dismantle organized networks of academic misconduct, protect the integrity of global education systems, and ensure that both facilitators and beneficiaries of academic crime are held accountable under the full weight of the law.

WIPO Legal Global works at the intersection of law

Intelligence, and justice to identify, expose, and prosecute academic fraud networks operating within and across borders

International Legal Authority

We operate under mandates that allow cross-border investigations and enforcement. Our legal authority extends through the EU judiciary, Interpol protocols, and MLAT agreements — ensuring no fraudster is out of reach.

Intelligence-Driven Enforcement

By collaborating with EU law enforcement and data intelligence units, we identify organized groups aiding academic fraud at the grassroots level — and we trace their financial, digital, and operational footprints globally.

Accountability Without Borders

From freezing assets and initiating criminal charges to working with academic institutions and national courts, we ensure offenders face full legal, financial, and reputational consequences — wherever they are.

Justice Delivered Through Relentless Legal Action

At WIPO Legal Global, we are dedicated to exposing and prosecuting academic and intellectual property fraud at every level. Our expert legal division leverages targeted litigation, international cooperation, and criminal enforcement to ensure full accountability. We initiate proceedings under UK fraud, forgery, and theft laws, while collaborating with EU-wide enforcement agencies and intelligence partners to pursue offenders beyond borders. From ghostwriting schemes to fake degrees, no form of academic misconduct goes unchecked. Through injunctions, asset seizures, and criminal prosecutions, we deliver real-world consequences. We don’t negotiate with fraud—we dismantle networks and restore integrity to education and innovation.
