Drillon Avocat · Based in Strasbourg, serving Alsace
Trademark lawyer in Strasbourg
Are you launching a brand, developing your business or facing a disputed use of your name? In Strasbourg, Sébastien Drillon accompanies companies and project leaders from Alsace to prepare their deposit, organise the exploitation of their brands and defend their rights.
A strategy adapted to your business
The choice of the sign, the goods and services concerned and the territories of protection are reflected together. The firm also supports you in the negotiation of licenses and coexistence agreements, as well as in the management of disputes.
Preparing the deposit and life of your brand
A trade name, a brand and a domain name have different functions. Their consistency must be examined from the outset of the project, taking into account previous rights and your markets. An identical search is a first check; the analysis of similarities helps to assess the risks of conflict.
Maintain evidence of exploitation
Invoices, catalogues, advertisements and dated captures can help document your brand usage. The firm helps you identify the relevant documents for your file.
Negotiate when it meets your interests
One Coexistence Agreement may govern the conditions of use of close signs. His interest is measured in terms of the rights involved, your activity and your objectives.
Our methodology

Opposition and infringement
Do you feel that an application for a trademark infringes your rights, or do you receive an opposition or a notice of formal notice? The firm analyses the rights invoked, the disputed uses and the documents available to define an appropriate amicable or contentious response.
Infringement supportLicences, assignments and coexistence
The firm supports you in the drafting and negotiation of licensing, assignment and coexistence agreements: scope of rights, territory, duration, remuneration and conditions of use of the mark.
Exchange on your contractDomain names and cybersquatting
A domain name takes over your brand or creates confusion with your business? The firm examines your name, use and rights.
Depending on the extension of the domain name and the circumstances, an amicable approach or a dispute resolution procedure may be considered. The transfer or deletion of a domain name depends on the applicable conditions and elements of the file.
Addressing a domain name conflictPrepare your first exchange
The firm welcomes you to the 19 rue du Général de Castelnau, Strasbourg. To specify your need, prepare if possible:
- the name or logo concerned, your products and services, the territories envisaged;
- deposit references and domain names already registered;
- the letters received, the deadlines indicated and the elements relating to the disputed use.
The scope of the intervention and the fees are to be determined with the firm before the engagement of the mission.
