Businesses of Interest

Companies and other businesses are an important part of the Person of Interest universe, and some have made multiple appearances. This directory is a collection of fictional company and brand names that exist in the Person of Interest universe.

Fictional companies are created by TV productions when using copyrighted brands or trademarks would lead to legal or trademark issues, or to avoid product placement. Production companies may use their own brands to add more authenticity to the show universe by creating brands with actual real-world counterparts. Fictional businesses, such as Virtanen Pharmaceuticals, can also act as story-telling demands, and become a useful tool when developing the narrative.

Website interfaces, advertisements, or company logos are often designed to resemble real-life equivalents as closely as possible. For example, the interface design used for Logan Pierce's social networking site friendczar.com as well as the company's background are reminiscent of Facebook and its development. "Atlantic Fidelity", a credit card institution that makes several appearances in the show uses a similar name and logo as the real-life investment firm "Fidelity Atlantic, Inc".

Some of the domains mentioned in the show are registered by Warner Bros.

In Person of Interest there are several companies that have been established as reliable in-universe brands:

• fetchandretrieve.com - A search engine frequently used by Finch
• OneState Bank - Many characters have an account at OneState Bank
• IFT - A world-renowned technology company involved in CPU architecture which also served as a front for building the Machine.
