Intellectual Property

LWM Avocats has developed an intellectual property practice focused on enhancing the value of companies’ intangible assets and, more broadly, of companies’ information assets.

We play a strategic role in developing our clients’ innovation strategies, from both a legal and tax perspective. This includes implementing strategies to protect innovations from the earliest stages of development and to maximize their commercial value, in particular through contractual mechanisms (licenses, transfers, partnerships) or by creating structures (JVs, SPVs, etc.), while ensuring the application of innovation-related tax regimes.

Our expertise extends to litigation, protecting our clients against infringements and unfair competition.

Drawing on cross-disciplinary expertise that covers all areas of intellectual property (copyright, trademarks, patents, designs and know-how), our team mainly supports clients in the following sectors: new technologies, IT services, software, energy, e-health and construction sectors.

Our practice stands out for its capacity to handle both French and international matters, supported by our New York desk.
