Legal Management of Innovation

Legal management of innovation addresses three key questions with one overriding objective: to identify, enhance and protect innovation in order to increase the value of the company’s assets.

We act at three stages:

Identification of innovations
Objective : Catalog and qualify a company’s innovations
- Definition of an innovation management strategy through the implementation of innovation identification processes (logbook, audits, mapping, intra-company)
- Audit of internal and external innovations necessary for the company’s activity
Enhancing value
Objective : Increase the value of the company’s assets
- Transforming innovations into assets by choosing the appropriate legal vehicle (patents, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, trade secrets, etc.)
- Structuring (partnerships, JVs, licenses, open source, co-development, spin-offs, etc.).
Protection
Objective : Preserve the value of assets
- Deployment of pre-litigation and litigation protection strategies to strengthen the company’s operating monopoly.
- Management of asset portfolios in preparation for transfers and fundraising.
