At De Gaulle Fleurance & Associés, the patents team has an excellent reputation for its expertise in patent litigation and transactional matters, and often acts in tandem with the tax and M&A groups in order to provide comprehensive support on mandates. Key areas of instruction for the team include patent licensing, joint ventures and research agreements, and the department has a solid track record in advising life sciences companies on patent portfolio protection issues within French and EU jurisdictions. The practice is led by the quartet of Louis de Gaulle, Julien Horn, Francine Le Péchon-Joubert, and Cécile Théard-Jallu.
