Vidon & Partners (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The firm: Originally founded in France in 1988, Vidon IP Law Group is a leading international intellectual property law firm with offices in France, Germany, Spain, Thailand and China, and thus has a global presence in key markets to successfully deliver on its clients’ cross-border and domestic transactions, supported by a team of more than 100 lawyers and consultants.

Set up in 1999, the Bangkok office employs ten multilingual, experienced consultants and trade mark and patent attorneys, educated at top universities, who are ready to resolve the most demanding and complex IP issues.

The firm strives to exceed expectations and adhere to the three core values established over 25 years ago by founder Mr Patrice Vidon, a French and European patent and trade mark attorney: closeness, professionalism, and international vision.

The team believes that the appropriate protection, management and exploitation of intellectual property assets are key factors in clients’ success and growth. One should not jump into either the dynamic South East Asian or European markets without having first determined a clear and well-structured IP strategy.

Client pool: the firm represents talented entrepreneurs, from start-up companies and SMEs to multinational corporations from diverse industries (pharmaceutical, fashion and luxury, F&B, hospitality, FMCG, automotive etc) in the fast-growing ASEAN region.

Extracurricular activities: Vidon is also an active member of various international and national networks developing best working relationships with correspondents and organisations worldwide (INTA, AIPA, AIPPI, APAA) and in Thailand (European Association for Business and Commerce (EABC), AMCHAM, Franco-Thai Chamber of Commerce (FTCC)) to better respond to clients’ daily IP challenges.

Areas of practice

Contract: the firm has experience in various commercial contracts including licensing, distribution, assignment, sale and purchase agreement, marketing agreement, service agreement, lease agreement.
