Cross-disciplinary skills
IP Valuation
Intellectual property rights are key to adding value to your inventions and innovations. A patent, trademark or model constitutes an intangible asset with a capital value. This value should be determined so that potential investors, partners or buyers can realistically assess the company’s full value.
IP due diligence
Industrial property rights are a key element contributing to the promotion of your innovations. Patents, trademarks or designs constitute intangible property with patrimonial value which must imperatively be assessed in order to allow a comprehensive and realistic valuation of the wealth of businesses, in particular, when those are looking for investors, partners or purchasers.
Startup Pack
To help you secure your intangible assets while remaining focused on your business, Germain Maureau has established the Startup Pack.
Contract strategy
A contract that is poorly written, unbalanced to the detriment of one of the parties, or that omits essential terms, will have a negative impact on your entire project and on the IP assets dependent on it. To avoid such problems, our IP lawyers can help to draft or review your contracts.
Cyber Risks
According to the study ‘Réussir avec le Web’ (2018), 94% of French companies consider that internet presence is useful or even invaluable for business. Why the attraction to visibility on the web? For three key reasons: being found easily, introducing the business to and communicating with existing or potential clients. But digital exposure can be maliciously exploited. Our cross-disciplinary team can help ensure technically secure web use, with legal support.
Blockchain timestamping
A time stamp tool that, through the blockchain, enables your creations to be protected and, in the event of litigation, proves your prior use and the integrity of your creations.
