OUR METHOD

For each case, we first discuss your project and your needs together to identify the best approach. We then determine with you the most appropriate terms and conditions of our intervention, by defining: nature of the services, persons intervening within the firm, deadlines, budget. We keep you closely informed of the progress and execution of our services. If need be, we make any necessary adjustments during the course of the mission. This way, you have control over your cases and budgets.

Our services

A SOLUTION ADAPTED

A strategic advice ?

From the very beginning of your project, we help you to identify the risks as well as the intangible assets to be protected and valorized, in order to optimize the structuring and implementation of your project.

Negotiate and structure your projects ?

Your contracts are not isolated and disembodied acts: by assisting you over time, we strive to negotiate, design and draft for you, contracts that are consistent with the reality of your business and adapted to your constraints.

Securing your intangible assets ?

Your intangible assets must be secured and valued; we help you to do so: audit of portfolios and recommendations to optimize intangible assets; formalities, including the filing of national, European Union and international trademarks; validation of signs whose filing and/or use are envisaged; prior art searches; preparation and negotiation of all types of agreements (coexistence, license, assignment); recommendations concerning proof of acquisition, use and securing of rights, administrative procedures before national and European Union offices (oppositions, observations, objections, revocation and invalidity).

Defending your interests or resolving a conflict ?

We defend with determination, rigor, tenacity and creativity your interests and your intangible assets before judicial (civil and criminal) and administrative bodies (INPI, EUIPO, CNIL, etc.). But we also know how to seek and find amicable settlements when they appear relevant.

To keep you informed ?

Law requires to be constantly informed: we provide customized training on a general theme or dedicated to a specific need.

The above points do not meet your needs: contact us to talk about it, we will seek together the adequate answer.
