If you have developed an invention or a creation, we can help you determine whether it can be protected by French and European law. To be protectable, an invention must be new, have an inventive step and be susceptible of industrial application.<\/p>\n

Depending on the specific characteristics of your invention or creation, one or more intellectual property rights may apply: patent, utility model, design, trademark, etc. We will advise you on the type of protection best suited to your project and help you file the appropriate applications.<\/p>\n

We also offer services related to the management of intellectual property portfolios (for companies or individuals), such as freedom to operate (FTO) studies or infringement analyses.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
