From fundamental research laboratories to pharmaceutical manufacturers, from early-stage biotech startups to major pharmaceutical groups, from medical device manufacturers to digital health companies: the life sciences, healthcare, and biotechnology sectors are among the most innovative — and the most highly regulated — in the world.
In an environment where research and development require substantial human and financial resources, intellectual property is not a secondary consideration: it is a strategic lever. Its proper management and protection are key to attracting investors, securing strong partnerships, bringing developed products and services to market, and ultimately ensuring the long-term viability of projects and businesses.
From securing a patent to defending your rights before the relevant courts, including structuring a licensing agreement with an industrial or academic partner, our firm acts with precision and responsiveness.
In this sector, where value often arises from collaboration between researchers, industrial players, investors, and public institutions, every partnership must rest on solid contractual foundations.
Our firm supports you in structuring each contractual relationship so that the value created with your partners is clearly allocated, exploited, and protected:
- confidentiality agreements
- research and development agreements
- licenses (exclusive or non-exclusive)
- co-development agreements
- technology transfer agreements, etc.
Intellectual property disputes are common in this sector, often complex and subject to critical time constraints. We act swiftly and decisively to defend your rights, whether as claimant or defendant, before the French courts and the Unified Patent Court.
