Expertise Areas

It also assists companies from other sectors of activity and the public sector, when those are faced with a problem involving information and communication technology (ICT).

Intellectual Property

The size of this department demonstrates the role of intellectual property in the modern economy: vital. Innovation, investment, the new distribution channels and the globalisation of exchanges have in fact put intellectual property at the heart of the business world.

Knowledge and information are more and more often the small “pluses” that make the difference. It is therefore essential to guarantee them effective and strategic protection.

In the consultation phase, intellectual property becomes thus a stakeholder in the company’s strategic plan; in the contentious phase the defence of intellectual property comes down to protecting the company’s assets.
