A client in biotechnology and genetic engineering deems French firm Vidon & Partners as "one of the best" firms to provide legal consultation on IP protection due to its "high quality service". In addition: "They work as a team, and each individual is impressive."
The firm boosted its numbers with one more patent attorney and three more trade mark attorneys in the Bangkok office, and prides itself on doing patent drafting, mapping and evaluation work. The outfit has more than 2,000 clients in the country. Some renowned clients include the Danone Group, National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and Sinensix Pharma.
Managing partner Franck Fougère is assisting a worldwide hand tool manufacturer in an investigation for trade mark infringement. The case involves more than 40 distributors and targets approximately one million fake units. The firm also contributes to Thailand's legal landscape by drafting and providing input on legislation pertaining to geographical indications and copyright.
One international client for whom the firm conducted a raid action recalls how quickly the team learned his company's business to protect against the infringement of software licensing and highlights Fougère as being at the helm of developing their relationship: "They're knowledgeable, timely, and they frame their response to queries in a very easily digestible format. I find them very easy to work with."
