Linked Reviews
Patent

Case studies show patent litigation before the national courts and the UPC as well as advisory work. In litigation, the firm acted for clients such as Seves Group and advised CE Ventures on a patent-related transaction. The firm’s patent litigation practice was strengthened in 2025 by the arrival of Clémence de Marassé-Enouf, Jules Fabre, Marina Jonon, and Louise Millot from rival law firms.

Trade mark

Case studies show brand protection work and litigation before the courts. The firm acted for Gallup in a trade mark cancellation action and advised Tik Tok on trade mark enforcement.
