Intellectual Property Agents and Patent engineers.
01.
Etienne Garin, Patent engineer, patent, trademark and design attorney, has been leading and managing Colbert Innovation for 25 years. Etienne Garin is a registered attorney with the French National Institute for Industrial Property (INPI), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO – located in Alicante) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO – located in Geneva).
Etienne Garin and his team of 8 assistants are known for the quality of the services they offer. The whole assistants combine efficiency, commitment and creativity to make Intellectual Property a strategic tool that creates value and accelerates the growth of your company, both in France and abroad.
Colbert Innovation is at your services and assists you for the drafting and filing of your patents, trademarks, designs and models in France and abroad, for the payment of the patent annual fees in France and abroad, for the wording and the management of your contract relating to the Intellectual Property matters and for advising you regarding potential litigations linked with infringement.
Colbert Innovation is characterized by the proximity and flexibility of a company having a human scale, capable to offer the tools, services and access to international networks claimed by the largest offices.
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.
Your partner in intellectual property in Lyon, Lille and Toulouse
In order to best serve our clients, we have established partnerships with foreign intellectual property firms. These allow us to offer you a complete service for the protection of your inventions or creations in France and abroad.
A human-sized company at your service
Because we are a small structure, we can offer you a more personalized service than the big IP firms. We take the time to understand your needs and to advise you as best we can. Our team is here to answer all your questions and help you manage your intellectual property portfolio.
Our firm assists you in protecting your inventions and creations, whether in France or abroad. We offer a complete service, from the identification of inventions worthy of protection to the filing and registration of patents and other intellectual property rights (such as designs and trademarks). We also provide advice on infringement and freedom to operate issues.
