As more Indian companies expand internationally, protecting trademarks, patents, designs, and copyrights across the European Union has become a strategic priority. The European market is vast, structured, and highly regulated, requiring a precise understanding of legal frameworks to ensure efficient enforcement and compliance.
Dreyfus, an Intellectual Property firm based in Paris, has over 20 years of experience representing law firms, IP agencies, and global companies in securing and managing IP rights across France and the EU. Thanks to our recognized expertise and our international network of partners, we act as a reliable, responsive, and strategic point of contact for Indian law firms and corporate legal departments.
We handle all major intellectual property matters across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Benelux region, and EU-wide offices such as EUIPO and the EPO, offering full legal coverage for Indian clients.
The European Union operates both centralized (EUIPO) and national IP systems. Navigating this dual system requires local representation and a nuanced understanding of procedural, linguistic, and cultural differences.
File and secure trademarks and patents under EU standards
Handle oppositions, invalidation actions, and litigation efficiently
Monitor competitive landscapes across EU jurisdictions
Ensure compliance with EU and national requirements
(EUIPO, INPI, EPO)
Gain strategic insights tailored to Indian firms
(legal English drafting, transparency, and structure)
Note: Most proceedings before EUIPO or INPI must be handled by an EU-based representative. A trusted European partner is thus essential.
