Defending intellectual property rights is a key value for many companies. 

With over 20 years’ experience, I can help you assess the chances of success of a potential action, its costs and the strategy to be adopted on the basis of this assessment. 

Examples of mandates:

• Defense of a luxury watch brand against numerous counterfeiting sites located abroad (trademark law case);
• Defense of a luxury watch brand against “look alike products” (free riding case);
• Defending products in the FMCG industry against “look alike” packaging (free riding case);
• Defense of an open source software publisher against the publication of a “fork” (copyright case, OSS);
• Numerous domain name cases.

Strenghts :

• Work related to so-called “low IP equilibrium” industries such as watchmaking or textiles (luxury goods industry);
• Free riding (“look alike products“);
• Brands ;
• Copyright ;
• WIPO domain name expert since 2001 ;
• Interactions between intellectual property rights and digital technology ;
• Ability to emphasize in Courts (so far successfully) the importance of business considerations in construing intellectual property norms.
