Roux - Vaillard is supported by a team of associates.
Marion Savary is a rising star to watch. A client says the
team offers a "first class service" in IP. The firm lost its
former senior associate Camille Pecnard to a top -tier
prosecution firm. Patent case studies show the team is
advising HTC in a mobile telecoms patent dispute and a
number of pharmaceutical companies on SPCs. Bristol -
Myers Squibb and Icos Corporation are among its
clients. Hoyng Rokh Monegier is Managing IP's Firm of the
Year (2017) for IP litigation in France. This European
IP firm has offices in Paris and across key locations on

"Emmanuel has been able to coordinate effectively with the most relevant patent experts at Jones Day based on the field we were interested in," says a client. "He has a strong business sense and excellent creativity." IT specialist Olivier Haas is
someone in the team who can advise on IP- related transactions. Edouard Fortunet is a rising star. One of the patent case studies shows the team advised Merck & Co in a multi -billion dollar dispute over the drug Solvadi. Other clients include Tomy Incorporated and Daiichi Sankyo.

practice. Debré works with a team of associates, one of whom is Simon Corbineau -Picci. Case studies show the team advising on patent disputes before courts in Paris as well as multijurisdictional actions. In May 2017 rising star Jules Fabre left to join Teva as legal counsel.
Lavoix has a reputation in patent prosecution work. It has one of the largest, most experienced teams of patent attorneys in the france. The patent attorneys are also accomplished in advising on patent litigation. Two leading lights in the team are Béatrice Holtz and Philippe Blot. Other notable European patent attorneys are Bertrand Domenego, Gerard Myon, Etienne Habasque and Stéphanie Michiels. One of the work highlights shows the team assisting Bioprojet, a pharmaceutical research company, with patent protection in several European countries.
The firm witnessed some changes recently, most notable of which was the departure of a team of lawyers including Cyrille Amar, Antonin Staub and Grégoire Goussu. It recently hired Camille Pecnard and Pierre - Emmanuel Meynard as lawyers.
European IP powerhouse Marks & Clerk also flexes its muscles in this jurisdiction, in which it has two offices including one in Paris. European patent attorneys Christian Nguyen -Van -Yen, Sophie Esselin and Laurent Lucas lead the operations here. Nguyen - Van -Yen is experienced in computer and high -tech patent work, but also advises on patent valuat7}4ï.
Esselin and Lucas specialise in chemistry and electronics respectively. Naïma Hnich -Gasri is a rising star.
Emmanuel Gouge heads the IP practice at Pinsent Masons in France. The French team is recommended for patent disputes and IP- related agreements. Gougé is
supported by a team of associates including Virginia de Freitas. Patent case studies show the "highly skilled" team representing clients in disputes before the courts and advising on effective dispute resolution strategy. A client commends the "efficient" team for being "attentive to detail, always available" and thinking "outside of the box ".
IPSTARSHANDBOOK 2017
Regimbeau has seven offices nationwide and a branch in Munich. The firm boasts one of the strongest patent teams in the france, with sectoral expertise from life sciences to mechanics. One client says: "This firm is
a reference in the IP market with an impressive team of very talented professionals." The notable experienced patent attorneys include Jérôme Collin, Stéphanie Celaire, Frédérique Durieux and Jean- Robert Callon de Lamarck. Computer specialist Marc Levieils advises on IP contracts and valuation. Cécile Puech, Damien Mace and Anne Seibel are rising stars. Market commentators appreciate the firm's contribution to the professional development of patent attorneys in France.
French IP agency Santarelli is highly recommended for patent work including oppositions and litigation support. The firm covers various technical fields including life
sciences, engineering and IT Hélène Stanko f f, François Lepelletier-Beaufond and Luc Santarelli are among the leading patent attorneys in the firm. "Luc Santarelli is
very experienced but still down to earth," says a client. Ghislain de Trémiolles is recommended for patent protection work in the ICT field. "The IP team is service - oriented and available for open and clear discussion," "' says one client. Recent case studies show the firm advising several pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Novartis on SPCs. The team has also advised Airbus and Gustave Roussy on patent protection.
Patent litigation boutique Véron & Associés remains highly recommended by market commentators. "They can litigate in any technical field," one rival affirms. The firm, however, experienced some changes in 2016: at the time of writing, the firm's partners are Sabine Agé, Amandine Métier and Florence Jacquand. Patent litigation supremo Pierre Véron acts as counsel, while Thomas Bouvet has left with a number of associates and Isabelle Romet is no longer with the firm. Véron is
recognised for his involvement in the preparations for the Unified Patent Court project, and Agé is one of the practitioners listed in Managing IP's Top 250 Women in
IP (2017).
