China-Europe IP desk
One European IP partner, two ways to work
Dreyfus supports Asian IP firms that need dependable local counsel and Asian companies protecting their own brands, products and technology in France and the European Union.
Choose the route that matches your organisation. Each path explains the relevant services, cooperation model and information needed to start efficiently.
Choose your route
Start with the working model, then build the right protection plan
The legal route is clearer when the relationship, commercial objective and decision maker are identified from the beginning.
Asian IP firms
Extend your service into France and Europe with visible or white-label local counsel.
Asian companies
Connect brand and technology protection to launch dates, channels and commercial priorities.
France and EU filings
Choose between national, European Union and international routes with a clear territorial rationale.
Products and technology
Combine trademarks with designs, software, copyright, contracts and confidentiality measures.
Disputes and online risks
Coordinate oppositions, domain recovery, marketplace action, customs and litigation support.
Sector-specific rights
Address the IP issues that matter in fashion, technology, food, wine and agriculture.
A clear starting point
From business question to coordinated legal action
We identify the mandate, territory and deadline before recommending filings, negotiations or enforcement measures.

White-label local counsel
Dreyfus works behind the instructing IP firm and preserves its client relationship.
Visible co-counsel
Roles are coordinated transparently when direct local participation is useful.
Direct company mandate
Legal advice is connected to the company’s launch, portfolio and enforcement priorities.
