- PI litigation expertise
IPAZ® has the expertise to handle all legal issues related to intellectual property in the field of patents, trademarks, industrial design rights, copyrights, digital works and software, databases, domain names, and all matters of strategy, management, and litigation with respect to the aforementioned topics.
IP right holders are increasingly becoming victims of infringement.
For businesses, infringement means:
- a loss of revenue and market shares;
- damage to the company’s image and reputation, insofar as counterfeit products are not controlled and may thus represent a danger to consumer health and safety.
It is therefore important to take action to prevent the importation and/or circulation of counterfeit products in the French territory and the European Union.
IPAZ® assists intellectual property right holders in implementing effective policies to prevent the counterfeiting of their goods.
With respect to patents, trademarks, domain names, and industrial designs, IPAZ® represents you before national and international intellectual property offices, as well as authorized bodies and legal authorities in both France and abroad.
Operators must also deal with duplicate industrial property title applications. We can assist you in finding alternate IP title solutions, so that you are able to legally abide by and respect the titles of other IP right holders.
