Santarelli

Santarelli is one of France’s largest and most established intellectual property firms, advising foreign associates and their clients on all aspects of IP law in France and before European authorities.

Our role is clear: to act as a procedural and strategic partner for foreign IP firms needing local representation in Europe, particularly before the INPI, EUIPO, EPO and the Unified Patent Court (UPC).

With offices across France and a multidisciplinary team of patent attorneys, trademark attorneys and lawyers, we handle complex portfolios and contentious matters with precision, responsiveness and reliability.

Our team includes:

- French Patent and Trademark Attorneys (CPI), authorized to act before the French IP Office (INPI) and to represent clients before French courts,
- Attorneys-at-law and Patent Litigators authorized to plead before the Unified Patent Court (UPC),
- French and European trademark attorneys (trademarks, designs, copyrights, SPCs and domain names), with a long-standing experience in opposition, appeal and litigation.

Whether you require filings, renewals, oppositions, SPC strategy, litigation support or EU validations, we provide seamless, precise, and transparent representation across all jurisdictions.

Santarelli traces its roots back to Bonnet-Thirion, founded in 1852, one of the very first IP firms established in France. Over the decades, the firm has grown through a series of strategic mergers with respected practices, each contributing unique strengths and areas of expertise.
