This happened over 18 years ago. The day before the deadline for the territorial extension of one of our French patent applications, we decided to call on the Cabinet Poncet to draft a PCT application based on a patent application we had drafted ourselves. We worked really late that day, but everyone at Cabinet Poncet pitched in, and we were able to file on time.

Cabinet Poncet is specialised in intellectual property for patent and trademark filings. The drafting of a patent cannot be improvised, nor can its defence before the European authorities ; the same applies to the filing of a trademark.

Patent filing and monitoring is a trade full of pitfalls and in my opinion, to perform it correctly you need to have extensive experience, fully understand the case and its most intricate details, and then be able to protect it as well as possible.
It is not easy to do, and it is certainly not within the inventor's reach. You just have to read your own patent to see why it is crucial to hand this task over to a real specialist such as Cabinet Poncet.
I particularly appreciated how well they listened, how fast they performed their work, and the trust they build with their clients. They undoubtedly have other qualities, but these are the ones I felt the most during our conversations.

Our small family business is celebrating our 30th anniversary this year. From almost the beginning, Cabinet Poncet has assisted us in protecting and monitoring our two trademarks.
Their extreme professionalism in a highly complex field that is submerged in both national and international codes has been an invaluable and precious help.
Whether they are set against multinationals or individuals, their approach has always made it possible to assert our rights—always seeking the most appropriate solution and knowing when to be tenacious and tough.
A few years ago, after months of procedures against a “Goliath”—a multinational, CAC40-listed company that underestimated our and Cabinet Poncet’s shared determination and tenacity—Cabinet Poncet was able to close an absolutely remarkable negotiation.
This sector needs a long-term partnership with consistent choices. We are very happy to have found this partnership with Cabinet Poncet, a family-run business like ours.
