Intellectual Property

Fidal and Fidal Innovation’s teams of patent engineers offer a full range of operational solutions for protecting, monitoring, exploiting and defending your patents. 

We are recognized for our patentability services, which include identifying innovations, drafting patent applications, conducting examination and opposition procedures, and FTO studies. We also advise businesses daily on exploiting their patents, from licensing agreements, R&D, collaboration agreements, non-disclosure agreements, trade secrets and know-how, to defending and protecting their patents in France, Europe and internationally.

Technological change gives copyrights an increasingly important role in corporate IP strategies. At the same time, new digitalized marketing techniques, the absence of formalities for creative work, and the reversed burden of proof tend to weaken and undermine the protection of these rights. 

At Fidal, we place copyrights at the heart of their business environment to better capture their value. Our teams understand your business lines and are well-versed in information technologies. They accompany you at every stage, from auditing your existing copyrights, defining acquisition and internal creation processes, negotiating and drafting contracts, to defending and protecting your rights (investigation, infringement, unfair competition, …) throughout the world.

Protecting, exploiting and defending your trademarks and designs is critical to your development. So Fidal has created a sub-practice group of specially trained experts, well-versed in marketing and commercial practices and equipped with dedicated monitoring tools. Its services include: 

• Audit of French, EU and foreign portfolios; 
• Filing strategy: choice of signs, definition of targeted goods and services, full availability analysis, filing procedure; 
• Monitoring and exploitation: implementation of contractual schemes geared to your business strategy;
• Litigation: asserting and responding to claims and defending your interests particularly with regard to infringements or unfair competition. 

Our ambition: to offer you personalized and competitive services at every step in the life of your trademarks and designs
