Contact an attorney in patent litigation

The firm considers enquiries concerning patent litigation in France or before the Unified Patent Court, evidence measures, pharmaceutical launches, SEP/FRAND negotiations and employee invention disputes. It also advises businesses on ownership of intellectual property, licences, trade secrets and IP due diligence.

The firm does not draft or file patent applications or represent clients before the EPO. These matters are handled by patent attorneys, whose work the firm can coordinate with the litigation strategy.

For a useful first reply

For a useful first answer, please give the number of the patent at issue, the court already seised if there is one, and the date of the next deadline. We will tell you promptly whether the firm is able to act, whether there is a conflict of interest, and on what timetable.

Requests concerning an ongoing saisie-contrefaçon or a summons on short notice should be flagged as such in the first message, so that they are handled as a priority.

We correspond in French, in English or in German. The firm acts as lead counsel or as French correspondent to a foreign law firm or patent attorney.

Conflicts of interest, confidentiality and meetings

Before any first exchange on a matter, the firm runs a conflict-of-interest check. The patent number, the names of the parties and the court seised are enough to start it. No confidential document should be sent before that check is complete.

The firm is located at 7 rue Commines, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, Filles du Calvaire metro station. Meetings take place at the firm or by video conference. Telephone +33 (0)1 71 60 61 46.
