If you have developed an invention or a creation, we can help you determine whether it can be protected by French and European law. To be protectable, an invention must be new, have an inventive step and be susceptible of industrial application.

Depending on the specific characteristics of your invention or creation, one or more intellectual property rights may apply: patent, utility model, design, trademark, etc. We will advise you on the type of protection best suited to your project and help you file the appropriate applications.

We also offer services related to the management of intellectual property portfolios (for companies or individuals), such as freedom to operate (FTO) studies or infringement analyses.

Filing a patent or other intellectual property right is not always easy. It requires the services of a professional who knows the procedures and deadlines to be respected. Colbert Innovation takes care of all the necessary steps so that you can concentrate on your core business.

Depending on your needs, we can intervene at different stages of the process:

– Identify inventions and creations that deserve protection;

– Drafting patent applications and other intellectual property rights;

– File applications with the relevant national or international offices (INPI, WIPO, etc.);

– Manage your intellectual property portfolio.
