Matter essentials

What the instruction requires

The sections below clarify the route, documents, decisions and local workstream for this specific matter.

One market-entry plan across connected rights

Brand and market identity

Clear and protect company names, product names, logos, domains and app-store assets before launch.

Software and data assets

Confirm ownership of code, documentation, databases and AI-related assets. Review contractor assignments, open-source use and third-party licences.

Patents and technical rights

Where patent analysis is required, we define the French or European workstream and coordinate with the appropriate patent professionals. Patent, software, design and trade-secret strategies should support the same product roadmap.

Commercial contracts

Adapt SaaS, licence, development, distribution, reseller, integration and enterprise terms to the European delivery model and allocation of responsibility.

AI, platforms and e-commerce

Identify applicable questions under the EU AI Act, data protection, Digital Services Act, consumer rules and product regulation. Dreyfus handles the agreed IP and contract scope and coordinates specialist input where needed.

Launch sequence

  1. Map: products, companies, rights, data flows, providers and sales channels.
  2. Prioritise: launch blockers, ownership gaps, filing deadlines and contract dependencies.
  3. Protect: file key rights and secure assignments, confidentiality and evidence.
  4. Contract: align customer, partner and supplier terms with the real operating model.
  5. Monitor: track copied products, brand abuse, contractual incidents and regulatory changes.

For Asian counsel and in-house teams

We provide a single English-speaking contact and a prioritised work plan. The Asian team retains ownership of the wider corporate strategy while Dreyfus coordinates the France and EU matters.
