About Grégory

I help innovative SMEs and startups to transform IP into business advantage: protect what matters, avoid costly mistakes, secure partnerships, and stay ahead of competitors.

I am an IP Manager in industry (ACC) and a certified INPI coach.
I am also registered on the list of accredited interveners of the PMAC (Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre) as an arbitration tribunal member & expert (expert determination) — by designation.

What I do concretely:
● Patent & Portfolio Strategy: prioritization, useful filings, controlled abandonment, alignment with the tech and market roadmap
● Contracts & Collaborations: IP clauses, confidentiality, R&D, tech transfer, licenses (avoiding "leaks" and blind spots)
● Litigation & Pre-litigation: technical/legal framing, resolution options (structured negotiation, arbitration, independent expert determination)

Intervention Formats:
● IP Audit (diagnosis + action plan)
● Team Training (R&D / management / business)
● Ongoing Support on key projects (contracts, filings, negotiations)

If you want IP that serves your business (instead of being a cost line), you can book a call:
  • French

    Native or bilingual

  • English

    Fluent

Remote only
