Which IP title for my company?

You want to protect your products and inventions before they go to market. We present the industrial property titles that will protect your interests.

Industrial property titles in France

Industrial property titles obtained from INPI (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle) enable the holder to acquire monopolies.

In the case of a patent, the company or individual holding the patent exploits it itself, or adds value to it through licenses. Monopolies are used to defend against counterfeiting.

A good knowledge of industrial property titles enables you to take the right steps at the right time. A single marketed product may be covered by several titles at the same time.

How do I protect my products?

First, make sure you’re not an infringer yourself. A freedom-to-operate study and a prior art search are essential. This operation, carried out by an IP consultant, will remove any doubts. Even if you are acting in good faith, you may still be an infringer if a competitor has obtained title to an invention, model, design or trademark that you are exploiting without authorization.

To protect your invention, a free questionnaire on our YesMyPatent.com website enables you to find out immediately whether you can proceed with your application. A simple registration in our customer area allows you, without obligation, to find out whether you can file a patent in a 100% secure interface.

You can then begin the registration procedures that will lead to the granting of your industrial property title. In particular, the drafting of your patent is an essential factor in the success of your procedure. The skills of an IP attorney specialized in your field of science will help to bring your patent application to fruition.

I want international protection

In the case of international patents, to protect your invention abroad, you need to file a patent application in each country concerned. The EPO (European Patent Office), however, allows you to complete the formalities for obtaining a European patent valid in EU countries and even beyond (Switzerland, Turkey…) and the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) via the PCT allows you to make an 18-month option for most countries in the world, while you make your choice.

International trademarks and designs must be registered with EUIPO for Europe, and WIPO for international protection.
