Biography

Agathe is a Partner in the Litigation practice group. She represents clients in major cross-border patent litigations and in innovation-heavy transactions. She has successfully litigated in France, the UK, and Germany, and has represented clients in EPO oppositions for over ten years. As a result, Agathe understands the practicalities of a successful litigation strategy when it involves multiple countries and has coordinated parallel cases in more than 25 countries.

With her very rich and diverse experience in European courts, Agathe has a particular interest in the UPC and has been advising clients on unitary patent related questions for several years. She also advises, notably tech clients, on the best way to implement the most appropriate IP strategy. Agathe has been representing clients in the UPC since day 1, she is involved in actions on the merits (both infringement and revocation claims and counterclaims), as well as PIs and has won several UPC appeal hearings on procedural issues. Her clients in the UPC involve Sanofi, Regeneron, and CurioBioscience.
