Sébastien Drillon

A journey through research and innovation

Sébastien Drillon, a Doctor of Law, devoted his thesis to the protection of software by patent invention, supported at CEIPI in 2012.

His 10-year experience as a lawyer at the CNRS led to the negotiation of contracts with SMEs and major groups, in contact with researchers in the fields of materials and biotechnology.

His teaching activities and publications in intellectual property extend this practice at the crossroads of law, research and enterprise.

Does the firm also intervene in defense?

Yes. Accompaniment concerns both the defence of your rights and the analysis and challenge of a claim against your company. The strategy depends on the rights involved, the evidence and the circumstances of the case.
