Dreyfus across Asia
A Paris IP partner for companies and IP firms across Asia
Founded in 2004 by Nathalie Dreyfus, Dreyfus protects, manages and defends intangible assets in France, across the European Union and through an international network.
We support companies and IP firms across Asia, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore, on French and EU intellectual-property matters. Coordination and reporting are available in English and French through one accountable, Paris-based team.
Designed around the instructing party
Two Asia-focused routes, one professional standard
The cooperation model changes according to who owns the client relationship and who needs the strategic guidance.
For IP firms and agencies across Asia
Discreet French and EU local counsel, with white-label or visible support, agreed communication rules and protection of the client relationship.
For companies across Asia
Direct guidance connecting filings, contracts, online channels and enforcement to the European market-entry plan.
One accountable workstream
Priorities, deadlines, fees and next decisions remain visible across trademarks, designs, domains, software, customs and disputes.
