As Polish brands expand across Europe and trade relations intensify, protecting intellectual property rights in key Western markets — especially in France and within the EUIPO framework — has become a strategic priority.
Based in Paris, Dreyfus has supported Polish IP firms, legal advisors, and businesses for over 20 years, providing them with local expertise, procedural representation, and tailored legal guidance in France and throughout the European Union.
While Polish firms can handle national-level procedures independently, EU-level and French matters often require a local representative due to:
Judicial and administrative procedures before French courts and offices,
Local language and procedural requirements,
The need for jurisdiction-specific expertisein French law (especially for .fr domains, customs seizures, or litigation).
We act as your official EU representative for a wide range of matters:
We understand the needs of cross-border partnerships. That’s why we guarantee:
Bilingual communication (English/French) and translation support if needed,
Full transparency on procedures, strategy and costs,
Strict compliance with procedural deadlines,
Respect for your client relationships, we serve as an extension of your team.
